Poetic Peroration Poem by Subroto Chatterjee

[I wrote this poem in response to a friend's angst in his workplace]

There's a whole lotta noise going on,
about work and its innate import;
Consider now where you wish to belong,
Or do you have more to report?

There's a common cry from every heart,
about the pain of stupidity and overload;
Capture innovation on your part-
and change from external to internal mode.

A path is familiar with experience;
Don't go for the overkill:
Now rejoice in your penitence;
Make your own life a thrill!

And where 'easier said than done'
is already done to death...
keep track of all you've won -
with every single breath'
