There is a problem of epidemic magnitude
Fatigue is the sneaky issue that seems to intrude
On our lives, more so than ever before
We are a generation of people who, more and more
Feel tired all the time, without an explanation
Our modern lifestyles seem to have a correlation
With overwhelming fatigue that we collectively feel
What is sapping our energy, who is there to steal
Our vibrance, vigor, strength, agility
Why are we collectively limited in our ability
To fight exhaustion despite all the conveniences around
Why are we unable to enjoy a slumber sound?
*
There, I said it, this is the elephant in the room
The fatigue that constantly over our heads looms
Is borne out of sleep that is inadequate
Sleep comes after everything else on our plate
We want to be overachievers, over multitasking we obsess
In working or browsing on our phones, we sleep less and less
With excessive screen time, our sleep quality suffers too
So we wake up not refreshed, tired to go through
Another day over-scheduled in every way
The fatigue therefore never goes away…
*
We are entrenched in a war with rest so deep
Instead of having miles to go before we sleep
To get adequate sleep before extra miles we go
Is the mantra we desperately need to follow
Passion...unbridled
