    Poem Commentary

    Sometimes people need a little push.

    Get a job
    SO YOU SAY YOU ARE A MAN.
    THEN GO AHEAD GROW-UP AND TAKE A STAND.
    OR DO I HAVE TO HOLD YOUR HAND.
    RELEASE THE FEAR, AND GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR.
    DO YOU REALIZE YOU’VE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR 
    ALMOST A YEAR?
    THE BILLS HAVE BEGUN TO STACK:
    THIS HAS GOT US WAY OFF TRACK.
    OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE, IF YOU KEEP THIS UP 
    WE’LL BE FORCED TO PACK.
    I DON’T UNDERSTAND, YOU’RE STRONG AND HEALTHY.
    DON’T YOU WANT THE MONEY?
    STOP BLAMING THE GAME,  AND LIVING IN SHAME.
    YOU WILL SEE THE CHANGE, IT WON’T BE THE SAME.
    YOU’LL LIVE A BETTER LIFE, YOU’LL HAVE A HAPPIER WIFE.
    STOP LAYING AROUND AND BEING A JERK. 
    GET UP AND LOOK FOR WORK!

    There may not always be a paycheck, but there is always work to do. And hard working guys survive, until their job eats them up.

    Thanks for reading my poems. I do understand, but unfortunately he just didn't really care at the time. He was not even trying and this went on for over a year.

    Quirky and not at all subtle, and not only a push, but a push off of a cliff! Some people never learn...there are jobs out there, you just need to be resourceful and clever. 10.
