The Dilemma of the Working Man

To work more or to work less, that is the question.

I feel anger, frustration and hopeless to have my upholstery shop

It pays my family's bills but does it pay my time lost?

Will all this work bring my back my seconds lost apart from my family?

It will not and yet, I am here when they are there

I count the second, I count the projects

One project less, can I go home now? In comes another before I can rest

Will I ever move quickly or faster? I run out of breathe, I run out of thought

I look at the clock, it all but has moved, am I stuck? How come I am not leaving soon?

I digress, my bank account says less and less

I must work to provide, I must work to keep everyone alive, without worry and without fear of financial loss

Why must my family suffer? Might I just sacrifice my life, Might I just sacrifice my time?

The never more becomes, the always more and more...

I'll keep running until my knees buckle and I'll keep moving until time reverses

Will that day come or will that day go? to work more or to work less, I guess.
