Day: June 25, 2020

When the five o’clock shadow appears
The day is almost over for you
Look back on the hours
What have you accomplished?
Many times the answer is nothing
Just idleness prevailed and
You have nothing to show
Another day of waste
The gift given was not accepted
Sadly there is no remorse
You drank your lunch and
The afternoon was a blur
Tomorrow will most likely
Be a repeat of today and
On and on until it is too late
You look at others about you
To you they are functioning losers
Scrambling to get ahead
Showing up and working diligently
And you keep up seemingly doing nothing
But there comes a day of reckoning
Everyone is held to account
You are no longer needed
The foolish ones advance
You are out on the street
Make the long journey home
Face up to the music
No one wants to dance with you
Life as you knew it is over
Time to get a new horse
You didn’t care and now
No one cares with you
You had your chance and wasted it
Now just a former big shot
Couldn’t call anyone by name
That was always beneath you
What went up came down
And now to unemployment
The office is just uptown
