Default Poems - Poems about Default

O to live life in relentless outreach And still stay put, stagnant, nowhere to reach, To struggle hard, getting not so in hand, To feign busy as if a butterfly, Or a productive bee nevertheless, O to say thoughtless yes in place of no, To make hurried choices on onward ho, And still fail to find meaningful flurry Amidst meaninglessness of life...
