Current Affairs

The clock ticks on,
People go rushing past,
They come and they go,
They make no impressions that last.

They're living life in the fast lane,
And it's taking its toll,
Relationships are short,
And like a lost poker game,
On things it's easy to fold.

Work is now more important than love,
What on earth has our world become?
Social networking is the sole way to communicate,
Is there no way to avoid our inevitable fate?

Trust has no meaning and cheating isn't a crime,
Wasted extensively is our precious time.
Standing lost and alone even in a crowded room,
Our unhappy ending continues to loom.

Creativity and passion is lost in a void,
Of compassion and humility, mankind is devoid.
About the past and goodness we reminisce,
It gives us hopes that history always repeats itself.
