STORIZEN POETRY
Take A Breather
by Vidya Shankar
Take a breathing break, take a breathing break
Heed to the comforting feeling of being awake
To the monotonous dictates of moneyed
pressure
Say nay, though not necessarily altogether.
When shuffling your feet in a queue eternal
Or stuck in traffic, the clock ticking away to
infernal
When kitchen fires work to profusion
And the not-so-neighbourly next-doors sound
to intrusion.
When data exceeds the functions of Excel
sheets
And our phone makes too much irritating
bleats
Say nay, though not necessarily altogether
To the monotonous dictates of moneyed
pressure.
And heed to the comforting feeling of being
awake
By taking a breathing break, taking a breathing
break
And heed to the comforting feeling of being
awake
By taking a breathing break, taking a breathing
break.
