Best Modern World Poems

I hardly recognize this
modern world
for it's changed so much
within my lifetime
I grew up
in a much different place
where people interacted
face to face
not through cutesy emojis
used in cyberspace
to express emotions on the internet
on such sites as Skype, Facebook, and Twitter
having never met
each other
in person
nor do they ever...

My thumbs jolt around the bright interactive screen, 
little letters appearing with each little poke, 
typing way faster than the speed of a bullet. 
Then the screen goes dark; i have finally awoke. 


The trance of advanced technology is too much; 
lives only exist on...

Crystal blue water
to swim,dive,play and enjoy
yet no life is there
-Swimming Pool

Peaceful residence
with all amenities,still
missing neighbourhood
-Apartments

Rich colorful foods
prescribed by doctors,still we
do not feel happy
-Medicinal Tablets

Can play anywhere,
anytime, but no playground,
no players to chase
-Video Games

Emoticons,texts
chats,stickers,still nothing beat
the handwritten mails
-Mobile phones

Technology rules
the world and controls humans
a boon or...

Wart of hubris, sweat of cursed
Jealous eyes and greed at worst

Blood from pride, tears from pain
Some wretched feelings from disdain.

Sordid juices caused by lust 
One liberal dusting of distrust.

A pinch of squander on path to diet
Then splash of anger from disquiet

Two parts grease; on one’s...

This is not the golden age.
It is the future reeling from 
earthquake, hurricanes,
lost innocence, lost generations:
Who will cry?

Their voices are muted
beneath the blare of the trumpet sounders
who cry for justice: human rights,
the environment, save this, save that,
save the world.
They do not see 

In the modern...

History talks about the Seven Wonders?
But look around what do you see
Our Seven Wonders of Modern times
Are all there for thee.

Many have been here for thousands of years
Given many a thought, many a fear
They are listed as i write them down

The first is life, a...

He was the world’s last gun fighter
And he always worked in drag
Carrying his six shooters 
In a special velvet bag.

No boots and spurs to jingle 
As in to town he rode,
Just patent leather sling backs 
High heeled and open toed.
He always arrived early 
Before the...

Technological Transition to a Modern World
David J Walker

The Earth comprised of earthy scent
Labored sweat 
		Grim regret 
80 years have sown

The Earth revised by measure lent 
The hunters net
		A daily threat 
90 years have flown

The Earthy prize a treasure spent 
A gamblers fret 
		An unpaid bet
100...

The modern world

Strange times we live
experience
is virtual
the real is harmful 
bad for the health.
The internet gives us link 
but our solitude 
is the same.
Famous women 
do not look factual 
like something made in a factory
we tend to be self-absorbed 
our feeling and thoughts
are truncated
into a...

LOVERS CAUGHT IN THE MODERN WORLD


Culture keeps us safe
Until it fades
Family keeps us warm
When we need shade—
Techno worlds are brash
And spit out
          Texting love--

word loss
makes hearts clash
Gives lives a shove
spring roses turn to ash

Leaves lovers wondering
Is...

Not Wholly as it should be

O holy city set in gold
 of thee both praise and woe are told.
 To three faiths the troubled home,
 we see the spire, the Wall. the Dome.
 Where once did graze the kid and lamb
 I behold a traffic...

Why is it so hard to be around people? I mean, maybe it's unfair that I should talk of the general public based on my experience of the persons that surround me and I have encountered but most of the time it's never a pleasant...

In the vast expanse of existence,
Your world, I find, fails to captivate my senses.
Unfortunate days, like wayward wanderers,
Don the garments of absurdity,
Parading their disconcerting presence.

Each dawn arrives with a disquieting aura,
Clad in a haphazard ensemble of potluck fabric.
It seems that a patch of uncertainty
Embellishes every...
