ALIVE

Worn out nibs, crumbled sheets of paper, 
More caffeine in the air, than vapour.
Time slipping through fingers like sand,
Aching temples, thanks to deadlined band.

Thinking minds, caged in walls,
Social networks, restricted to calls.
Humans turned to machine, printing money bills, Cigarette puffed lungs, even when you know it kills.

Working like robots, Is there a difference? 
Can you carry the load of this coherence?

Declining invitations, jobs used as a pawn,
Is success REALLY worth the memories you are loosing out upon?

Bounding yourself to work, how will you strive?
Just existing? You have to stay alive!

The song you skip, can be danced upon,
Wear that sweater you once loved to fidget on.
Take that nap you’re longing for,
Apply to the college, you’re researching for.

Book those tickets, Eat that dish,
Blow the candles, make a wish.
Take in the morning sun,
Go for a late night run. 

Watch an Albatross search for home,
Blow bubbles out of the foam.
Dissolve your worries in the summer breeze,
And smell the monsoon petrichor feels.

Blow on cotton buds,
And listen to the hoppers thud. Living life in the moment, makes you thrive,
And then, again you’ll be ALIVE.
