Ballad of a Procrastinator
I want to do it
But I don’t do it.
I hope to do it,
I know I won’t do it.
My life of procrastination,
Is believed to be an abomination,
By those involved in my creation.
I will never get spiritual emancipation.
This life of procrastination,
Although kills the time I have,
Has enabled my imagination,
To come out of dingy cave.
I think to do it,
I go to do it,
But they already did it,
Before I start to do it.
Those involved in my creation,
Demand justification,
Lament in dissatisfaction,
While I look away in distraction.
I want to question myself,
But I procrastinate that as well.
When they compare me to my father himself,
I think he would be better off in hell.
Those involved in my creation,
Have disowned me in frustration,
Only to have their peace in one piece.
While I fall into many a piece.
My mind is compulsive,
In things that I do.
No one knows my condition,
I can’t do two things in one session.
So be it then.
I behold the mighty pen.
I shall write my problems in vain,
As long as I don’t become insane.
