The 21st Century

This new age technology Have me confuse I must confess Cause while I spending more money Everything else is getting less I will give you some example Hope you don’t get depress But if I’m telling the truth Just answer and tell me yes Our telephones now Are all wire wireless And them new stoves Now are completely fireless A woman in Trinidad washing cloths On the tree she throws her dress I ask her why not use a line She say she going wireless Google making new cars now That is driverless And you just press a button to start Its is also keyless They even changing fast food also To make them completely fatless So you can eat all you want While your wallet become cashless A woman in Malaysia Have to children who are jobless And she quarrelling with her husband Because them wives today are fearless So while the cost of living rising Our value become less The world is in recession Those leaders are directionless Today you see young couples Some of them cheat so heartless Because to them relationships Are completely meaningless Some today have bad attitudes And live life so careless And when you tell them good morning They say mind your own business My friend the romantic dude With then women he has success But if he don’t marry one Then he will be living wifeless The fees in universities are expensive While education are become valueless And everywhere in the world today You will meet people who are manner less A man buys his wife a perfume They call it timeless Then he trying to lose some weight so he drink is completely sugarless My girlfriend gives me lunch in a bowl It was completely soup less Them ask me if my belly full Saying today we going foodless So I tell her yes darling It was so delicious Because if I hurt her feeling She might leave me loveless Yes the 21 st century Has everything is getting less But still am and optimist And will keep my hope endless

I enjoyed reading your poem, Kasim. I like your sense of humor and play on words. Love, Kim (Somehow your poem is repeated so it shows up twice on this same page)
