Inertia

Stay and stay put,
Sloth for an hour and one more thereafter,
One must know that there is always tomorrow,
You are at rest and tend to stay so,
Sometimes entire lives are spent in inertia,
We have set events followed by inertia,
The routine never changes and is inertia itself,
Do ponder what breaks inertia,
And gets you moving,
Hardly anything,
In the time frame you have,
You basically end,
Where you did begin.
