Eight thirty in the morn
surrounded by a thousand
cars blowing their horn
Packed lunch getting soggy
Already!
Smartphone beeps
Email questioning excel
sheets and power
point presentations ready
Slog, slog
Responsibilities
come hard, hard
Twenty hours a day
spent unappreciated
Four hours of peace
Negated!
The minority majority
run on artificial
Duracell
Loans, Card payments,
Mortgages overdue
The wife wants to know
If I can teach
The kids something new!
Innards boiling
Extremities toiling
Life
In modern times
Standard norms
Preach!
Ticking
Time bomb
Inside, Hope
Nothing sharp is near
Me yet.

Where do I begin? At times, we don’t even realize how the sands of time is slipping away. Your poem made me pause and think.

May the time bomb not go off. It is a good thing there are no sharp objects near. I like the description in these lines: “Twenty hours a day
spent unappreciated
Four hours of peace
Negated!” Thank you for linking with us at dVerse!
