SCARCELY

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

playtime often scarce when goals is several yards away,

A resolute mind is never amused though the world goes for game,

Especially in this part of the globe where the violent takes his right by force.

May be once in a blue moon when the mind seems satisfied,

Then the body is served with a plate of amusement and a jolly cut.

But daily playtime, no way!

We struggle for basic need down here,

Hungry belly never play,

Thirsty throat never smile,

Bills are not paid by the amusement on the beach,

Playtime is just an annual visitor that journey with summer break,

After annual break, it goes back to “who knows where”!

Never a daily playtime for a kangaroo pursued by a pride of lion.

I doubt it’s existence down here.
