21st Century!

How bad is it to say that, 21st Century is synonymous with Mortuary,
When almost every wall is hoisted with an Obituary?
Sad news befall us through February to where it started; January
Human pursuits are so insatiable and open-ended like an estuary
Disregard for Contemplative lives and the ones spent in the Sanctuary
And the systems; so predictable like the study of actuary

 

How bad is it to say that, the order of the day is Facebook and twitter?

As though it hasn’t made many a lives bitter

The generation getting smarter over sweeter

Where many will choose being a Shoplifter than a typesetter

And the Conspiracy theory rages on, making sure everything clutter

Hence the need to look before you leap because not all gold will glitter

How bad is it to say that, many will choose being on Flickr than being a seeker?

When they take delight in hailing the joker over the thinker

Choosing a trafficker any day over the civil worker

Lines visibly and legibly drawn as days gets darker

Breeding torrents of casualties as people gets weaker

And any meek in the struggle might just seek a Caretaker
