    Honor and Duty

    In charge but alone and lost
    in the swarm of people that demand my services.
    Part of a couple
    yet I alone am active in it.
    Hardworking and over-polite
    an over-achiever in all aspects.
    It is but the tenth and here I am
    slumped over my desk and
    pouring over next month’s bills and agenda.
    My shoulders are tense
    lower back strained
    and feet tired and achy.
    My senses are dull and my thoughts are numb
    but for the needs of others.
    There is never enough time or money
    for all the things they need from me.
    My mind is spinning in unimaginable patterns
    but forever clouded by duty.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
