On Hold...

Being put on hold! 

--

How long could you yourself stay on hold, 

How long could you put someone on hold?

In a time-span rather shorter or longer, 

You may have to leave and end the talk.

Or, maybe though, be forced away to walk,

Which is keeping you busy so much,

Which you feel, should not stop as such. 

Though soon, maybe you could sense, 

There is a risk involved, thick, dense,

You could not see at this very moment,

Yet it is there like a threat potential, latent.

Before this comes out to be really true, 

Wait and watch yourself a seconds few!

How brave, you may have yourself told, 

How much long could you stay on hold?

How long then, you could be put on hold.

Maybe, you're really an exception only,

But all the people here, are bought and sold!
