A Novice's Plight

In situations like these you come to know, How difficult it is to be with the flow?

I wonder whether it can be called a 'flow'

When the speed is sluggishly slow?

I will my body to sit it through,

But how can I will my mind not to do

What it has been destined forever to,

That is to think and think it through?

This guy talks of 'defensive mechanism'

When it's a question of 'survival of organism'?

I wonder why time plays such games

Wish it ticked relatively than being the same

Wish S K Srinivasan was right here

At least he would say something to cheer Even if it was not so dear It would remove the boredom sheer?

Questions, answers - answers, questions

What a hopeless situation?

Is there gonna be any salvation?

Would like it even at the price of mutation?

The topic of the discussion is 'Go/No go'

I am wondering if I should miss the show He asks, "why spend more time on this?"

At least I am thinking as he is.

Talking as he does about 'Clarification'

Can he give me a justification?

Why is he working on the assumption

That we can, in some way, survive the situation?

I have got to survive and not run

I wont let him have that fun

Thankful that I have no gun

And I am not intending pun.

God, when is it gonna end

Wish there was earthquake god send

Thankful that he moved a slide

At least there's one less in the ride?

Everyone knows the end's not near

But still the session-break is dear

Well its like capital punishment

There's still some 'life' in postponement.
