(Im)patience

Patience, a commodity, rare in the bazaar of virtues
Priceless! For it is indeed seen lesser in man, isn’t that true?
Impetuous and rash comments, without a thought, impatience abound, only time to rue!

A trait whose abundance leads to chaos everywhere,
Peace of mind shattered, false sense of urgency beware!
Excellence thrown out of window, half baked cake presented unaware.

Irritation and angry words fill the atmosphere,
Loss of confidence amongst people far and near,
Stress and nervousness cling like vine, adding to the despair!

Calmness the only medicine, contemplation the only answer proclaimed
To reign the stubborn habit like a wild horse tamed!
Patience truly a gem, to be preserved like a diamond that’s famed!
