Don't call it work-life balance, lets call it work-life harmony,
We've used work-life integration before, on that I'll not bet my money.
You may call it what you like, but the primary focus is work,
And only secondarily in the shadows, will life really lurk.
Don't call it a mental disorder, lets call it a mental health concern,
The medical model faltered us, now let it be psycho-socials turn.
On mercy of genes or environment, there is not much we can do,
Apart from labeling one way or the other, and prejudicing the way we view.
Don't call it an addiction, lets call it a substance use disorder,
We've tried calling it dependency, all in an effort to get a restraint order.
No matter what you call, under the bravado, one is alone and at loss,
You can put in a rehab, and get one sober, but life goes on for a toss.
Using the correct language, may not be the deal its made out to be,
When we are changing words so often, aren't we running away from the underlying reality?
