a workers conflict

i wrote this at work :)

a place i need to be 

but i don't want to be here 

480 revolutions in this hell

the queens must be satisfied

she must have her full time.

time that's what i live by 

she's satisfied with that 

but somehow i'm beginning to adore

this incarceration. hmph!

some sort of sick Stockholm syndrome.

the taxers are frequently here,

taking out honey , its like a cocaine to them

its  congruent to money.

i wish i could escape this prison , but i'm conflicted .

somehow i made a bond with my inmates.

can i really say i hate this place ,

i feel euphoric with our comradary

we live by 480 i love the eight 

i can't truly say i hate this 1/3 of my day.

It's not often but I have those thoughts too about work.... the love hate relationship thing. Unfortunately we all need to survive some how...

So here I pose the question.....

Do we work to live or live to work.....?

Great write Peter :O)

[Peter H]

i believe we work to live , its the only way we can live unless we're the suns of millionairs who own great empires lol :)

A real good poem on work and the necessity of it to our welfare and living and how it burns out some people who can't enjoy then the simple things of life. I think finding the balance is the key between the private and professional lives...Bravo

[Peter H]

[Peter H]

and yes it is about finding that balance i have not yet to find it though it eludes
me

[Sami Khalil]

''Sick Stockholm syndrome'' ; I love that. A structured 9 to 5 gives a man a purpose, it's like being part of a team. –––The friendships. My work is different now, but I know what you're writing about.. It is indeed a conflict, it is a give and take.

Another good piece, P

[Peter H]
