Mike Grant Poet Rhyme

Ready Set Go

Ready set go, pick yourself up off of that floor
Because you probably drank to much the night before
You have an alcohol problem you can't ignore

Put your pants on one leg at a time 
Now make sure you can walk a straight line
You've got an uphill battle to climb

Now sit your kids down and feed them their breakfast
Make sure they have their phones that you have purchased
 You want to make sure that they stay focused

You wouldn't want them to conversate
They need to remain in a state of isolate
It will backfire, just you wait
The snake is taking shape

Now get them out the door, on their way to school
Ignore the fact that you have lost all control
And have fallen into a deep dark hole
You Need a tool, to fix a damaged soul

Comb your hair and brush your teeth
Try and hide the despair that lies beneath
Run out the door and don’t forget your keys

Be careful as you drive to work 
Go slow because you don’t want to get hurt 
You might spill coffee on your shirt

Try not to tailgate
It could be a Big mistake 
Because you would have little time to brake
It would be chaotic and it would make you late 

As soon as you arrive park your car
It’s time for your misery to finally start
Ignore the pain from your internal scar

As you walk in, everyone says good morning
But deep down inside, you know your job is boring
Your upset because their profits are soaring!
Internal anger is building, That you've been storing

You barely make enough to survive
Your slamming red bulls to energize
You know this is true, don't act suprised!
You can't deny, That your life is full of lies
You are full of maybes, what ifs and why's

As you sit down at your desk
Trying really hard to do your best 
But your boss still seems unimpressed!
Your emotions are deeply compressed!
Always wanting to get thoughts of your chest!

Then after an eternity, it’s time to go home
You drive as fast as you can to stare at your cell phone
And to make family members feel alone

The neglect makes them feel bad 
But your too dumb to know that your making them feel sad
Missing time with your kids
When all they want is there mom and dad

Oh wait, they are staring at their cell phones too 
I think we are all screwed and there's nothing we can do
The reality of it is a hard one to chew
This is something we cant undo
When it really is true

Your stuck in this cycle that never goes away!
It's the same thing every DAMN DAY!
The stress is making you grey
Hay! 
Put your phone's away!
And go out and play!
OK!
