THE PAUCITY OF TIME
Amazes decades of modern life,
Busy always workload irk spike,
Perks jerk, commission omission,
Overseas travel, tours, promotion,
Schedule, appointment delegation,
The conference, documentation motion,
Estimate, budget, forecast, expense,
Office job overtime, stress, pretense,
Analysis, profit, loss, share market,
Price rise, import, export plummet,
Alert mind match computer quick,
Weekend madness wild mind sick,
Booze or dance nightlong collapse,
Early morning asleep wooden relax,
Office time jump to bus, metro, car,
Bike rockets mobile rings start a war, (1)
Hello, human modern time machine,
A paucity of time, benign future wine,
Wine is money, promotion honey tag,
Flight hotels office appointments lag,
Decade rolls, black hairline turn grey,
Fascinates kid overseas life mainstay,
Life partner my-way, high-way, misses,
Home, sweet-home disappears distress,
Locker dazzle, family fizzle, look benign,
Friend relative kin miss paucity of time, (2)
Poor middle-class teenage youth love,
Pain hunger wanting most dissolves,
A friend shares family close consoles,
Kin admires family visits elder roles,
Meager salary small job sweet home,
Baby doll kisses shrieks cheers won,
Family to park eat mixture ice cream,
Conjugal life silvery tape lusty dream,
Timepiece mourn, lazy a mind, peace,
Deep slumber morning tea, office kiss,
Busy corporate life plentitude of time,
Human life ecstatic once lonely resign,
A paucity of time, private life can ill afford,
Recalls sweet home social fabric rapport, (3)
Nostalgic childhood ancestral home,
Village beautiful enchants awesome,
Old parents still look thirsty in heart,
The loving mother gazes window in hast,
Search silent postman letter from son,
Postman never call, tears well up lorn,
Letter of mother reaches late emotive,
Business executive read lines attentive,
Socked decide to send a resignation letter,
The answered boss paucity of time insecure,
The last bus to home, village waits for acute, (4)
Best a simple life mediocre resolute,
Unknown people fake smiles eager,
Far from a busy life n money-spinner,
Travels tours office time disappears,
Family unites once again kin appears,
Relaxed in ages, village serene ponder,
A paucity of time goodbye, wisest wonder! (5)
