An idle brain is the devil's workshop
- Anonymous
I woke up half asleep
And rose to do my routine tasks
Minutes have passed with the
Various events and actions
Transpiring with mechanical precision.
Everything occurred as expected
And nothing extraordinary
Loomed in the horizons, both of
The eyes and of the imagination.
With both heart and soul empty,
My mind sought out to explore the
Worldly habitations of the flesh.
And like a soldier unprepared in the
Midst of battle, I fell wounded in
The first volley of the Enemy's fire.
Such was the day I suffered when
I allowed my day to start aimless.
But then, I told myself: "Rise,
Soldier! Nurse your wounded spirit and do
Remember that each day is a battle.
Always prepare yourself- mind, body
And soul- and strive hard to
Win the war."
