Of what use is monotony in life
With its tedious repetition and routine?
Is it worthless like a long drive
On a highway with scenery unchanging?
Well, if you take a microscopic view,
Monotony exists in our DNA molecules.
With mind-boggling details, these repeat
In every cell that, in a person, constitutes.
And if you look at it macroscopically,
There’s monotony in the ocean waves.
Wave upon wave rises up and retreats
With every wave created just the same.
Yes, monotony is also Nature’s creation,
Less valued and even less understood.
It has benefits that deserve attention.
Following a routine does a lot of good.
So, the next time you feel overwhelmed
By tasks and activities you have to do,
Know that if you follow a set routine
You can focus on what matters to you.
And, it may seem very contradictory,
But monotony will boost your creativity.
With fewer decisions to take in a day,
New ideas are generated by your brain.
So if you want to be immune to it,
Know that it can be your best friend.
It’s like the magical lamp with the genie,
But it can grant your wishes with no end.
