Best Quality Of Life Poems
A Lament--On The
Quality Of Life
Those homes made
of wood and mud!
Mud would in winters
keep cold away
In shivering
summers heat
And wood would give
them an artistic
appearance
The tin-roofs and
fenced verandas.
My mouth would
water with the smell
Mom often fried at
school time
The eggs were laid
by the healthy hens
We raised in our
open yard.
Those potatoes
were hard, and had
a different taste
Although sliced and
fried the same way.
Those village-
women would bear
Every year or two
bear-sized babies
And, with ease!
In the woods, fields,
or orchards
Or in frozen-winters
at home.
Similarly, Love too
was true and pure
When people fell not
in
What the letches call
love,--
So effortlessly and
frequently!
When phones were
not there nor any
dating site
And horses were
used to ride.
(people of developed
nations can't relate
their thoughts and
feelings with the
poem!
But machines,
artificiality, genetic
engineering have
deteriorated for
example the taste of
vegetables; and
destroyed our
emotions.
Hope it's agreed.
Thanks
The Quality Of Life Is Gone
The water is not clear
The food tastes terrible
The air stings the eyes
The fires are many
The arid lands are multiplying
The days and nights are getting hotter
The diseases are many
The cures are a few
The faithful are without a prayer
The parents are no longer able to protect
The children have nowhere to turn
*
For the love of Earth
What did we do to deserve this
For the love of Earth
It is what we didn't do

Where did the quality of
life go?
We were on bicycles,
jumping rope, eating popsicles.
Who cared about dirt?
We threw our body into
pools with nary a care.
The elderly with canes, just
harrumphed and gave us
watery, cataract stares.
With nary a care, we played
hide and seek.
And rode to wealthier places
to just take a peek.
Radio was all that we had.
Great stories we listened too!
And guess what, youngins?
We were grateful and glad.
No flashing blue screens, no
food was delivered.
Mom cooked it all so well.
Why, we drooled and had
shivers!
Stores were tiny and owned
privately by hard working owners
that knew your name?
Big, unfriendly stores now to me,
are as cold as a wintry rain!
Some of us remember, when
Church was a must.
When nuns in long, black gowns
were people who had our trust!
No child swore, or if they did
got a spanking.
Today? They go to a school
psychologist for a ranking.
Few go to church, as back in the day!
They are online playing the
Internet game of the day.
God's crucifix is no longer on display?
Great,,,we can break now a commandments
loot, burn and kill?
Life is more fun that way?
A fine life highway we have set for boys
and our girls.
But then sexes are outlawed,
puts me in a total whirl.
I am so glad to not be in love
with the Internet Nation.
It started off well...but is no
longer a sane creation.
People cannot move one inch
without their iPhone dear?
The sites on the Internet show
far more than a derrière!
I hope we get close,as humans
once be!
And stop the madness of
FaceTime replacing reality.
Sure, many will disagree and
think I am a jerk
That's fine, be on your way
and just twerk!

Quality of Life is talked about
All around society, in or out.
Whether a long or a short life
It's to be peaceful without strife!
Not the quantity, no one knows,
The Spirit is like a wind that blows.
How and why we live will count
So I can smile, not pout,
Expecting a peace and happiness
that comes from gratefulness
In me and to those around
Wherever love is found.
Life is like fun-filled R.A.C.E.S.,
Not against others to save faces.
But like the letters remind me
It's simply important to be
In good Relationships, Attitudes,
Clothes, Eating and Sleeping virtues
So keep the quality spiritually,
Of the blessings make a tally.
It's up to us to choose
Not external things like booze,
Drugs, health, money or friends.
It's only Jesus' Love that never ends!
You are the artist, you're the poet.
