At the End of the Day

Morning awakens a jumbled agenda of

Caffeine-fueled fluster and clamoring clashes,

Maddening mashes and time-crunching dashes

Sprinkled with flashes of

Echoed backlashes.

 

Onward and upward the dreaded commute,

The bottlenecked bobblehead manic pursuit.

Every halt or delay, every pothole in route

Sending blood pressure soaring in hosts of hot flashes.

 

The workaday fever a muster of frenzy

Raving and ravaging every last nerve,

Draining the tank til there’s no more reserve,

And giving much more than those bastards deserve.

 

But…

At the end of the day

It all goes away.

All the worries and flurries

Removed from the fray,

And a soft prayer of thanks

To the One up above

For the privilege to live

In the land that I love.
