Work From Home Mode

Early morning, my mind refuses to wake up my body 

I switch on slumber button to get into tranquilized mode

Alarm sound is unheard and it dies with no battery

My parents make a futile attempt to switch on my mind battery

At ten-o-clock, I wake up quickly as if a bomb is hurled on me

I blame myself for the lethargic attitude instilled in me

Days and nights passed in a jiffy

All I have done is drink abundant coffee

I open my laptop fixing my mind to work

With no one to investigate, I turn jerk

With no prying eyes around, I enjoy a quick laugh

This is the only place I find it safe

Calls and deadlines mount pressure on me

Thank God! There is no one in person to spit on me

My boss shouts at me for not doing the job

I start burning midnight oils to save my only job

Outside world is ruled by a deadly virus, corona

Inside world is monitored by my mind that always goes bananas

We must get acclimatized to a concept called 'work from home'

If not, we might have to stay permanently at home
