Since when did we become so shallow,
Our heart and mind all so hollow.
The era of Twitter and Facebook,
Our heart and mind all so hollow.
The era of Twitter and Facebook,
has turned us all into a devious crook.
Whining and cribbing seeing others uploaded photo,
Making others Jealous probably was their sole motto.
We focus on places we haven't seen,
Clothes we haven't worn and things we haven't said,
And we forget about things we are thankful for.
Why aren't we satisfied with what we have?
Why aren't we happy for who we are?
Since when did we become so shallow,
Our heart and mind all so hollow.
Living life like its a rat race,
Makes life proceed in a very slow pace.
How many times have we taken a picture to keep to our-self?
How many times have we let the camera go and enjoyed the moment?
The illusion of capturing it all through the lens,
Tempts us to lose life's precious moments.
I too am guilty of committing this crime,
It may seem like my boring life is making me whine.
A lull period passes everyone's life,
What we feel now, they will feel tomorrow.
Although, that is not for us to bother.
Lets hope that we can overcome this sorrow.
Happiness is within us and its not something we can borrow.
Since when did we become so shallow,
Our heart and mind all so hollow.
Wow loved this poem Nethra. It is beautifully depicting our day to day life and constant questioning about our happiness with the things we have !!
ReplyDeleteI certainly experience all the above, dont know about other people.
Emotions and moments are flowing in the poem.
I too am guilty of committing this crime :-)
Sameer.
