This Modern World

Welcome to this world, in this modern day,
Where, with smoke and dust, the air has turned grey.
“I’m OK” they say and put up a brave display,
But everyone really seems to want to run away!

Cheer up, they tell me, “Let’s go Shopping!”
2000 bucks for a shirt?!? There’s no way I’m paying!
No movies either, the price of tickets is skyrocketing,
And to make things worse, there’s no place for parking!

At work too, all day is spent going from meeting to meeting,
Throwing around latest buzzwords like ‘Social Networking”!
But I don’t really get it, What is with this whole Orkut thing,
Pouring over other’s scrapbooks, what is the joy they’re seeking?

I try to look ahead, but it’s all unclear,
My whole life is just stuck in 2nd gear!
Blindly climbing up the ‘ladder’ year after year
What the hell am I doing here?

    I came home last night and asked ‘What’s for Dinner?’, and the wife replied ‘Food’.

    That’s how I got into this philosophical mode and wrote this poem.

    Moving story, isn’t it?

    No da, my automatic poem generator generates nonsense. I write the poems myself.

    Not that there’s much difference, but still…
