"May I have your attention please!"

Attention!

"May I have your attention please". For that’s all that's asked, now and for ever.
More of that. And only that. Indulge in it. Crave for it. The life revolves and rests on it.

Attention!

The name wants it, the fame wants it. The sensible and the lame want it.
Its the battery, the charger and what makes the tick and the will to strive harder.

Attention!

Its a give and take. I give you some, you give back some more.
I call you right as long as you feed me. The moment you stop, no matter what, you have deceived me.

Attention!

I am my own precious, yet I appreciate myself through your eyes.
Present the need bluntly, or with subtlety and under a cloak. But the need is the same and its not little.

Attention!

Recognized by society, respected by peers and adored by family.
The statue on display. Painted and buffed, polished and rubbed. Looking all fancy, to be kissed and hugged

Attention!

No matter how much it rains, this strip remains barren. Just like yours and those in the horizon.
Even when old, dying and withered; yet erecting remembrances to receive it long after death.

Attention!

From being a dream to observation and awareness. The journey from wanting attention to paying attention.
With many around, they can take you to the Moon. But with some time alone, can be such a boon.

Attention!

Its all very selfish, but still packaged as love.
From ‘Two’ comes attention; if ‘One’ then only love.
