Days of Work

Life is routine, only if you have work to keep you floating.

Monday becomes quite a burden to me,

Getting on my feet and having things okay;

It is a requirement that I have to pay,

If I don’t want troubles getting on my way.

Eight hours work that’s where I’ll be,

Leaving hours of fun for an activity;

Dealing with paid job to get security,

That’s a better option than obscurity.

So no matter how I get the boredom,

Doing the same thing for years to come;

A feeling that I’m forever in conundrum ,

At least I will not starve to face the outcome.

Two to three hours a day is just what I need,

Back to the writing and having my thoughts freed;

It is a feeling that I could still proceed,

Having work and hobby to help me succeed.

I’m with you on this one. Work is a necessary evil, but we have to take time to enjoy ourselves as well.

Sounds like the perfect blend of drudgery and whatever the opposite of that is.

sometimes I am at work and my mind wanders and I think.. “how did it get to be like this, with some people working to make others rich?”
surely this is not the way life should be…. we should be out hunting and gathering, running naked in the fields and swinging in the trees..running away from big cats who want to eat us, rather than working hours and hours a week to buy them cat food!

Good to know that writing is a form of stress release for you. And you should keep on writing and not let mundane work get into your otherwise free running thoughts!
The Last Ogre on Dec 1, 2009
Good poem. We all can relate with this.
PhoenixRox on Dec 2, 2009

Well said, Will. And you are certainly not alone! Great write.
katelove on Dec 2, 2009
yeah wouldn’t it be great if your work is to write then work wouldn’t be a chore anymore. Yet, earning for writing is not easy.
Ruby Hawk on Dec 2, 2009
Isn’t it the truth, I did it for too many years to think about. That’s why I enjoy my freedom and hobbies so much now.
