Work Life Balance

The tick of a tock of a tired clock
the seconds slip on by
minutes last for hours
and hours last for days 
until a life time passed away. 
count the wrinkles on your face
the callouses on your hands
the scars on your heart 
and know  your life is slipping away
birthdays, weddings days
work days, holidays 
everyday the same day 
no money in your pockets 
no love left in your heart
society stole your being
and business stole your time
and scream.
