Shrunken By Half

Shrunken By Half


At work my time is spent
Again, energy I expend
To work is quite okay
had there a room to play.

I’m fan belt on rollers
Stretched to all the limit
Lusting cents and dollars-
It’s true I must admit.

Half of me am family
Whom to spare its time
To Love and not be wily
In every adverse clime.

Half of the other part;
work and its heavy load
Two parts of me apart
Yet spinning in one road.

The antagonistic speed
One side of me will shrink
Which one would I need?
My Family I should think!

Joseph The age old question. Spend quality time with the family, or work for money. I would rather have a few less dollars to spend on material things and enjoy the time with family. Cause time goes by too fast. Thanks for the wonderful and flattering comment on my Heart Will Burn poem
