Little Excuses
Laziness and procrastination, two nasty brothers always look for excuses.
It’s raining cats and dogs out there and the day just turned dark. Initially, I was like ‘ah, there’s a storm out there, thus I need a little nap’, but I know better. This morning rain won’t cheat me out of being productive. The other way round, it is a perfect excuse not to do anything!
In brief, I wouldn’t let the rain or any element deprive me of any day’s work or task. So here’s a piece that explains how the morning rain can make one gloomy and lazy.
Morning Rain
Dear morning rain,
Creator of eerie illusions
One who hides the sun
In a fit of dismay, douse all
With an abundance of rain
Grand hills are hidden too
Trees become mad dancers
The wind a slight nemesis,
All are worried about you
Morning rain, friendly foe
Who permits the waft of slumber,
Let the day waste subtly away,
To create means of lack and sorrow
