Best Modern Life Poems

Modern Life
We are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
Except Monday mornings and Sunday nights.
What are they on about, at this place that I seek
That is supposed open 24/7 days a week.

The pub is open we have an unlimited license,
Let’s have a drink...

Double cheeseburger—
Super-size fries— diet Coke. 
Is there a question?...

Part 1. How to destress in modern life
https://youtu.be/dzbLuLzMWE4

         A delicious languor steals over one
in the languid twilight falling over the meadow
Watching tiny animated spectrums
            ...

Housewives peer from behind dirty windows
Catching signs of the scurrying nightlife
They know killing time is really a sin, 
Though they can be absolved by watching Ellen and her wife
Where you can rediscover the inner you
She’s got one so you’ll want one too
Can’t call that greed...

Modern life is stressful they say
Nothings right or wrong, everything gray
So before you start your day
Get on your knees before God and pray

And as you drive to your daily task
Keep talking to God and wisdom ask
And keep talking to Him from dawn to dusk
Tell Him...

Youtube,
Instant gratification generation,
Living your life on a spiders web,
Imperiled, endangered conspiracy theories straight to your head,

Web Cam On,
Snoopers watching you like internet ****,
And you're none the wiser,
Or maybe you are?
Is that why you push yourself so far?
Fad diets,

When people abroad are hungry and starving,
You sit...

It is a field composed of four times more stones than grass
with a spectacular traditional residency, making its habitat almost homogenous
is this global historic street light, shinning with well spread beams.
Through its inventions of western theories of tragedy and comedy,
major mathematical principles, histiography and western...

Modern life style is more cruel,
It makes people to burn others to make fuel.
Too much things you have to consume,
Doesn't matter how you will suffer from that outcome.
Modern life style makes someone cries,
Selfishness could simply break our family ties. 
Everyone of us are suffering from...

Anti-passion normalization
Soul-braking pressurization
Heartless determination

Modern life

When goodness grows at snails pace,
When kindness in the life suffers,
And shrewdness keeps winning race,
And cheating and ditch buffers,

When best friends misunderstand,
When a dear one breaks your heart,
And foes closer to heart stand,
And tries to ignore your scar,

Joyous moments come so slow,
Be sure humans...

Lie down and rest my friend,
take off thy weary head, pull
on the hand brake of society,
and give the world a chance,
a glorious chance to understand you!

Look at this irony. Stroke of fate
So cruel that I can’t breathe so straight!
Curfew’s cleansed city’s air,
Pollution fairly fair,
Yet, my mask blockades both fresh-air gates!
Locked in house, halfway hung,
I can’t hail city’s lungs,
COVID’s hijacked all life, love or hate.

Hate Speech

Outside I’m the same man as ever
A bit older, softer, wider for sure,
Wiser perhaps, but basically
The same cheerful, friendly, outgoing
And compliant guy I’ve always been

Inside my heart has turned to iron
A molten mass pushing outward
With my...

Everyone’s complaining
‘Bout how it’s always raining
And we’re all getting soaked to the skin
Everybody’s whining
How there’s no silver lining
Optimism’s growing kind of thin
Everyone is moaning
You hear the constant groaning
Darn it! Can’t you see how it’s unfair?
We’ve all caught the fever
Become a true believer
Then exhale it out...
