Morning Ritual

Morning Ritual 
Brewed aroma 
Morning ritual 
Coffee dreary 
Eyes in a haze 
A new unpredictable day 
The weather lady 
Not too sunny 
Wake up 
Put on some make up 
Body still numb 
Maybe a second cup 
Get ready for work 
Kids sent off to school 
A long day ahead 
Can’t focus 
It’s not the weekend 
Mind racing 
Work delay 
Too many bills 
Traffic sucks 
A drink at 5pm 
I look forward to it 
Expensive society 
We can never retire really 
Just work yourself to death 
Too many burdens
