up before light
down after night
stop thinking
start working
with all your might
programmed & trained
redirect the brain
build
borrow
grow 20%, it’s ingrained
put in more hours
take shorter showers
get out the door
they need you more
they have the power
goodbye my honey
hug the babies, go be a dummy
pay the sitter
eat out for dinner
all for the love of money

All this hard working for the love of money.... A very true count of daily life. A simple but sharp and realistic poem with a bit satire as well. Good work, shannon. Good rhymes and stanzas. Keep it up! Best Wishes. Naseer

You know many chase the carrot on the stick and die frustrated.
