The Priority

Stick close to your mental vitality,
The devil’s e’er keen to turn it to insanity.
Daily we are besieged with cares and ills,
Distracted by anxiety o’er the frills.

Blinded to the creep of chronic fatigue,
Overextended in pursuits so weak.
Thus are we led to chase things unimportant,
When our crucial core gets cold and vacant.

Zeal and creativity, so dampened;
Efficiency and the will to act, so slackened.
Let all, around the priority revolve;
Or lose your structure, and into chaos fall.
