Life-Work Balance

-------------------------------------------

Work's dragging routine - mechanical
Keyboard stroke tap-tap-tap...
Maniacal, request: do more with less!
Promote synergies, with effective finesse
Never mind where to get the energies!
Super-food maxed-out enhancement pills
Kills! Plus some power bars for the keeping
Full-time-equivalent units - sinking!
Paid for 'x?' hours a day, performing till 12!
Let's welcome!
Universe, Inc., in which we chose to dwell
Over-people climbing, a huge stairwell
Shooting for stars and top-jobs done well!

...and then...
back to the shelter...
half-hour with kids...
"Honey, I'm home! Tired" (always)
Kiss-kiss!
Weekend's sleep and porches to sweep...
Life's bitter, but not without its sweets!
For so many it's that or land on the street...

And then - it's 5 AM!!!
Back to land, where slopes are steep!
Where few sheep seen among wolves
Signal papers signed by high-end schools
Genius fools, and blank-personalities
Encouraging progress, adapt to realities
Dollar-shaped monuments standing erect
Filtered through prism of polit-correct
Truth reminds some obscure euphemism,
Chaotic order, greed-driven cataclysm!
No matter the cost, job-show must go on!
'This tournament's prize is VERY hard-won!
Go with the flow or be gone!

...and then...back to the shelter...
