Play Of Work And Life Poem by Kiran Pillai

What if everything is a problem?
Something that you need to solve.
Then work is just a challenge.
Like some jigsaw puzzle.

I love challenges at play.
Higher the challenge, better the play
Work will soon be play. I know!
Let me convert things to challenges.

I know there can be lot of games.
All work is turning to play now.
That is code and programming.
Something that we can play with.

So is social dynamics. All play indeed.
How we treat people is play
Then we get treated also like play.
At times play look like anger and hatred though.

People and games are similar indeed.
Some just don't get things are play.
They get serious and get hung up on syntax.
I like to see dynamics as play indeed.

What is interesting when all is play?
Work, poetry, writing, thoughts and all.
I know play is underlying thought here.
After all life itself is a play. Just big stakes.

I am slowly converting to play state now.
Playing with myself and emotions now.
Sometimes, people call me monster.
With no play, rigidities may arise; no?

Who likes to play rigid? It must be fluid.
I like to play in fluid state. A Flow play!
If it can't flow, it is not play at all.
When it flows, even war is play.

What if there are losses when you play?
Like loss of money or even life?
Then, get branded as villain and collect hatred.
Maybe villains just got the play wrong.

Put a few rules down and play is fun.
Place boundaries hard and strong.
Play can be fun then. And focus morality.
Play without ethics is not play at all.

Ethics is central to play too.
Without ethics, even gods are monsters.
Play with good rules and mindfulness.
Ethical play with morality is maximum fun!
