Reading causes you to faint
you have a whole house to paint
the decorators have not come
and the wash of the week is still undone.

Baby is crying for a bottle
single mom or dad in time of trouble?
writing causes you to shake
fear of exams creates a wake.

The walls need new paint and plaster
reading has its advantages to master;
decorations are not your thing
nothing is, when the mind's in a sling.

so the chores of the house continues to climb
you ignore your present and keep up your decline;
you cultivate your fear of knowing
and still you skirt the moments of growing.

Never living in the present ... alway in the past or dreaming of the future.

Like SEA said, interesting write

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

May love and light always shine upon you!
