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.

So true I could borrow this one and send it to my ex,its why we are no more.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
