On the surface
It's a holiday
Well rested
Pampered with variety
But, if pressed
It could be said
We suffer
Wasted potential
The most common of problems
Laziness
Inattentiveness
These plagues
Irreversible
Irreversible is strong
Men have learned to make it
On barely nothing at all
Necessity making the adjustments
Men then falling into line
Barely noticing
Changes
But what bitter fruit are these
Hanging like so many dried grapes
On a frail and twisted vine?
When others have facility
Proudly displaying unsheathed
The work of a lifetime
Sometimes on a beach
Or at the pool
We share our secrets
That of being stowed away
Most of the time
Without twiddle or twinkle
These devices in need discipline
A circle around the block
An occasional clop
We blame genetics
Causal relationships
We stand our ground
Of course it could be worse
Casted away
Or completely withered, missing
But have you ever seen the feats of Jyoti Roju?
The Monkey King of Chitradurga Fort
Jealousy abounds, and naturally
