As the exam season closes in
Golden promises fly out
“I’ll study this evening,
Shall manage my time- no doubt.”
Cautious minds warn themselves
‘Only for half an hour, not any longer’
Unconscious fingers reach the TV remote
Unable to resist any further.
At first restrained, they switch on
Their rabbit- like ears noting each tick and chime
One by one, the muscles soothe down
Until their stomachs sound dinner time.
It then dawns upon them
Several hours have gone by
They scurry up and grab their books
Chanting, “Fifteen plus x equals y.”
Not one day, nor two
This is the drama everyday
For the sake of tempting entertainment
Precious time trickles away
With lofty goals left unaccomplished
