Modern-Day Reality

Useless functionality, Loss of practicality, Robbed of all vitality, Is today's reality. Everywhere I look and see, People live in poverty, Everyday technology, Failing to provide the key. They deserve a better life, Free from hunger, pain and strife, Modern living's filled with blight, Death and sorrow's very rife. Everyday brutality, Loss of one's morality, We prescribe neutrality, Modern man's fatality. This is our reality, Some say, "New normality", Government formality, Ruling so lethargically. Modern days in which we dwell, Some in 'heaven', some in 'hell', "1980 - George Orwell", Of our time, he told it well.
