Another day...

Here is an old thing which I wrote when I was in a particularly boring assignment. I will call this poetry :-) (apologies to all you great poets out there)

==
What a wonderful morning!
But here I am, sitting in my chair,
Wondering if life, to everyone, is fair?

I check my mails in the two accounts,
as usual, nothing significant; only extractions and check-outs!
I do some enthusiastic work, dream of the finished jobs.
Full of energy, I punch keys and click buttons!

At the back of my mind, I know something is catching up..
try as hard as I can, I know I cant escape the drudgery of this work!
I fight to keep my thoughts focussed, as I at the monitor gaze,
its 10 am, time for a walk around the maze.

I do some pitty pattying on the keyboard till its time for lunch,
at the canteen, stand in the salad line or wait for the pizza brunch.
some chit chat, and back I am - in my chair,
As usual, no one else, but the monitor, keyboard and mouse to my despair.

Consciousness, after some time - becomes very rare.
What am I doing? To this job I am supposed to be fair!!
I borrow some enthusiasm, this task is almost over,
Why not finish it and then do some leftover?

I still fight my sleep back, is it time for coffee?
half asleep, I find my way to the machine,
As I insert some quarters, I can almost see my fav espresso down there,
back I am, sipping the last bit in my same old chair.

I am now fully awake, and rush to complete the tasks for the day,
I do it, but I know I am tired of doing this everyday!
I think - after all, if everything is going to be almost like this,
I decide - why bother? this is my day which I dont want to miss.

I wonder as I awake in my bed lay,
Who knows, tomorrow might as well be my day!
Who knows, I would be in some other chair.
I should not repent then; that I lost my golden time in such despair!

Here I am, a changed person,
Knowing - that all this is ephemeral.
I decide I shall enjoy to the most,
Keeping every single bad thought out of the host :-)
I shall take life as it comes,
And enjoy every moment as it goes!
