Day #06 – ** Theme Kaleidoscope of thoughts**
Children want to escape doing their daily homework,
Husband wants to escape accompanying the wife on a shopping jaunt,
Wife wants to escape watching the soccer match,
Grandparents want to escape the strict diet they are required to follow,
Commuters want to escape the traffic snarl,
Employee wants to escape the boss’s ire,
Companies want to escape working within budget constraints!
All of us have a long list of things which we don’t enjoy doing, yet are forced to do it. It is then that the mind looks for escape routes, albeit for a short while at least. We scout for the open doors or secret pathways to plan our escape from the chores we are compelled to complete.
Entangled in the web of harsh realities
Silencing the swell of emotional turbulence within,
Chasing dreams never ending,
Alternate paths, the mind seeks for freedom,
Patience waning to be a lost virtue,
Elaborate plans made for the grand escape!
The above is an Acrostic poem for ESCAPE!
nice one on E…liked it a lot
