The feeling of oppression
Leads us to giving up the fight,
Making us unable to resolve,
As if we are in a frozen box.
This is because we have
Too many conflicting and
'Urgent' items in mind
Appeared all at once.
It seems like everything
Has to be done, and it all
Has to be done right now.
And so the primal part
Of our brain kicks in, and
We begin to experience fear,
Panic, misgiving, . . or worse.
We may even experience
The feeling of depression and
Hopelessness. These emotions
Can pursue us in the forest
About to be eaten by beasts,
But they are absolutely not
An appropriate response
To our daily to-do-duty.
So, what shall we do?
Let us pray time and again,
But at that we have to know
That prayer is what everything
Is depended on Lord,
Then duty is what everything
Is depended on us, you and me.
