The place I find Solace

I moved to the fast-moving world. I rely on nothing but amazing technology. Everything is at my doorstep, just no less than a wonder world.  None to bother, no one to care about.  Just one click makes every single service possible.  No time to spare in any wandering thoughts, As so much around to get amused and explore every sort. Technology and modernization give all the satisfaction.  Countless quirky attractions and unique distractions. How can one ever be bored? Buildings are crowded with people who can afford.  But it still feels like living in an isolated place.  Nobody cares, but everybody just cares to ignore. Every moment is a competition to win an unending race. There is no certainty or limit, but everyone wants to outscore. Greed and manipulation are in the air. Life seems easy, complicated and fast, ready to dare. Always busy and making merriment. Relationships lack a lot of commitment.  There is something that I feel and long, Something that I miss forlong. The slow low life and the beautiful land. I was once very delighted back there in my homeland. We toil the whole day but still laugh and share, In sickness and happiness with everyone to care.  I relish the leisure in the lush open green and the bright blue sky, The sweet wandering thoughts and heartwhelming countryside. Soothing, pleasant and unpolluted breeze that lulls me. Each shares their hard cultivation in jubilation. With no expectations and greed, just pure affection.   There is nothing compared to civilized land. But my land gives the serenity and tranquility that every busy living seeks.  My soul wants to be in the pure bliss of this land. No land is like my land where life is still untouched.  A fast-moving life is the need and what I always searched. But my soul finds solace in the arms of my homeland.

This poem holds my interest as it describes modern times isolation. There is an overabundance of technology. I sense a warning in your verse.

I am grateful for your comment. Yes, you are right. Modern time isolation is something that most of us go through. Despite its beauty, technology can sometimes overburden us. What was once enjoyable to us is now gone.

Can I ask what your homeland is? Yes, what the world needs more than anything is what you describe in your sixth stanza

Well, it is the attachment and bond that one has that makes a homeland. The homeland is a place where one can find happiness and peace.

I was just curious. My wife is Korean but she really feels more at home in USA. Her childhood wasn't very happy

My homeland is the place where I once enjoyed my childhood with my family. The place which could be defined as a place of togetherness. Yes, it is true.
