Anthills

The reason I love the anthills is because they remind me that growth happens one moment at a time,

That perseverance makes a difference in everything.

It’s a wonder to think that such tiny creatures could create such magnificent edifices without decades of education.

Procrastination

Thou art my mortal enemy; yet thee I embrace as I would the closest of friends

Thy lies have caused many an embarrassment for me; yet continually I am in bed with thee          

Thou causest me many regrets and always I am dissatisfied with myself

Procrastination!

Thou art my enemy; I must see thee as such

I see thee as such; I must treat thee as such

I treat thee as such; I must not listen to thy lies

Procrastination!

Now is the time; not to think, talk or analyse

Now is the time; just to act, do, make, write

Now is the time; time goes only forwards and waits not

Procrastination!

Thou art my enemy; I will bed no longer with thee

I shed of thy clothes; I regain my life

I start anew; living life as timebound
