Breathe-Easy

This society;
Claustrophobic,
Squeezes,
Imposes,
Restrains,
A rat race to run,
Wealth, fame entices,
Living for the moment,
Tomorrow's not anyone's headache. 

Tensed existence;
Laboured breath,
Pain and distress,
Anxiety, stress,
No time to waste,
Ladder of success,
Expectations wait
On bated breath. 

Years of existence;
Sans emotion,
Mechanical motion,
A coiled spring
Reacting to situation.
Nature unveils its beauty.
No time to stop and gaze,
More important things at stake. 

Life!
On the death bed.
Counting of breaths,
Inhale...exhale...
