Modern Life & Insanity

[dibyendra]

This poem which I have written a month ago, describes the modern city life. It talks about the several topics like love, freedom, security, power, success, passion, health, rejection, frustration, depression, humilation anger, loneliness, failure & guilt etc...

Modern Life & Insanity (Part 1)

Daily schedules and sleepless nights
is this how we live this modern life ?

Good things in life are really hard to find
Depression, confusion, frustrations usually thrills my mind

I never realized before about life that how hard it could be
And things never happened the way it should be

This modern life is running too fast and have no time for your own
Everybody's running and I'm not the only one

Sanity has gone from loneliness, rejection, & failure
Jealousy burns, anger ends in misery, and ego clashes for sure

The more we learn, the more we fake
The more we love, the more it generates hate

Overworked and tired face, lonely and tiresome days
Blessed are the ignorant, it's what I learned from this modern age

[dibyendra]

This poem talks about the scenario of this modern world and how hard it is to cope with this era.

Modern Life & Insanity (Part 2)

hectic pace of this modern life
never satisfied, never pacified

modern world with cutting-edge technologies
high-tech solutions yet byzantine complexities

questions questioning for more alternatives
living on the edge with uncertainties

this world is evolving and transforming it's face
everybody's running for their time and space

always have to win to stay in this game
always have to change the track to get out of this pain

the more we go deep, the more we face reality
this modern life may dig down the hole to insanity

Gazhal are hard to write, but you do wonderfully. :thumbs_up

(You're probably wondering what I mean by "Gazhal". It is a Hindi form which has been Americanized, your two fit the form fine. Here's a link to Gazhal poetry in the original: http://www.tanhashayar.blogspot.com/ )

i really like the sentiment of the poem, you make some very relevant points and i'm disappointed you didn't expand any of them. i'm trying hard to find something that doesn't state the obvious. i'm trying. sigh. and then i come to lines like this:

The more we learn, the more we fake
The more we love, the more it generates hate

is that the case with you, dibyendra? the more you learn the more you fake? it reminds me of some old song lyrics: 'the more we live the more we love.' i bought that CD you know.

Thank you Charles for your comment. I've written this poem seeing the real world although I've not analyzed thoroughly. But I've written from most of my experiences there.

And for the statement "The more you learn, the more we fake", it's happening and it's real in this modern era. What I tried to give a message that "we end up doing something else for what we have learned". And for the statement "the more we love, the more it generate hate", I have seen most of people including me facing similar situation.
