We Are Not Machines - A Poem

 

We are not machines, we love to 
Watch the sun set in the sky,
Blazing in all his glory,
Before the day ends.

We love to pause a while, to
Sip on a cuppa tea and just
Watch the world rush by in
All its madness!

We are not machines, we love to

Watch  pets doze, slack-mouthed,

Not caring about future plans,

Timelines and targets.

We love to pause a while to

Dream of flying in the sky,

Watching the world grow grow

Smaller and smaller!

We are not machines, we want to

Live our lives, to dream and aspire,

We like to  pause and wait even as

The mad world rushes by.

We love to gossip and chat, to

Joke with friends and foe in the

Corridors, even as others rush by

So what if we're a minute late?

We are not machines, we're vulnerable to

Stress and breakdown, we need our

Moments of rest to laze and doze,

While the world rushes by!

We love to watch flowers, to

See them sway in the morning breeze,

An epiphany of spirituality and joy,

So what if we get late to work.

We are not machines, we love to

Take breaks and pauses, we like shifting

Gears, we love change and thrills,

So let the world snare itself!
