Boredom

"Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice and need."

Its a long boring day
When will it go away

That phase post noon
Slowly empowers me

My lazy, languid body
No longer responds

In the droopy eyes
The dreams are lucid

To the numbed ears
The voices are feeble

A mode of hibernation
For me and my machine

I am just uninspired
Tired, with no work

The fiery sun outside
Scorns at my misery too

I'm trapped at my desk
There is no getaway

Its an everlasting wait
For hours to pass by

Oh its a long boring day
When will it go away....
