When a vital part of the infrastructure,

temporarily disappears from the screen.

It’s time to assess what is valuable,

and how on a treadmill, you have been.

And when that necessary component,

re-appears once again on the scene.

It’s good to re-boot and go forward,

and sometimes, wipe the past clean.

 

 

 

 

We soul search once more,

and forgiveness ask, and promise

in earnest to fulfil the task.

 

Our transgressions, the headache,

we failed to put right, long after

our weaknesses have come to light.

No means no, not yes or maybe.

No, asks no challenges to be heard.

No, means more than, not at that moment.

No, begs the final word.

Today is the yesterday, when you

promised yourself the moon.

Tomorrow won’t be any different,

unless you get off your backside soon.

 

 

 

 

 

They are going through a purple patch,

devoid of sloths and moles,

and putting one foot forward,

after years with crippled souls.

 

 

 

 

It’s a new day, with a whole new  

set of people to meet and greet.

More names to remember,

more faces to familiarise with.

Sort the chaff from the wheat,

rise up and compete.

Though none of us immortal be,

we long for serendipity.

And with our minds emotion free,

push the bounds of possibility.

 

 

 

 

 

She spoke in muddled metaphors,

and saw through conjunctive eyes.

But her message she managed to get across,

without effort or compromise.

‘Shut up’ is just too strong a phrase,

to say in public places.

‘Be quiet’ is also impolite, and would

cause frowning faces.

But if ‘please’ preceded both of these,

each would then fit in, with social graces.

When others mock your accent,

and in it find laughter and mirth,

consider them rude and untravelled,

and not a minute of time, to be worth.

Just be proud to speak in your

motherland tongue;

be proud of the place of your birth.
