Daily Grind Poems - Poems about Daily Grind

Trailing clouds of glory do we come Until by the end we are left dull and glum. How it all came to this We are responsible For being so remiss The magic of our early moments Emblazoned in our minds Fades and disperses with every pressure Our world brings to bear upon our pleasure Exams, bills, targets, workday...
