FRIEND CUM FOE

 

 

 

 

You love my availability

To carry out your daily chores

For your survival depends on me.

 

In times of peace, I sit subdued

In any given circumstance and

Flow gracefully and gorgeously.

 

You hurt me many a times

By misusing me, yet in

The end, the sufferer is you.

 

You never stop to think of tomorrow

As you engage in wasteful theatrics

Poisonous and dangerous activities,

 

For you live for today,

Yet the future beckons.

I can’t do the math for you!

 

Your horrible behavior

And my natural madness

Do cause harm in abundance,

 

Yet you still don’t learn, as you cry

In the moment and forget soon after

And continue with your damage.

 

It’s a question of time, for my

Disappearing act is slowly in progress,

But surely, as more barrenness, catches up.

 

Your carelessness always hurts

As you rob tomorrow of its

Livelihood till, I’ll be, no more.
