Theft

My pen plagiarizes
From my mind

My day steals
Some winks from my sleep

My past pilfers
The carelessness of my present

My words pinch
Impartiality of any thought

I protest mutely
And abet silently
For I bribe myself with
The spoils of life

Not a bribe, I think, but pleasure. And we all deserve a bit of that, don't we?

Those are the irrational compromises we all cave in to in adulthood, aren't they ?

@Vi: That's a nice positive spin to the whole equation :-)

@Ankit: Yes they are.

@Radha: Friday afternoons can do that to people on occassion :-)
