People are lonelier than ever before….
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #161‘.
Good morning Friends,
With a massive increase in world’s population,
And amazing boom in means of communication,
Isn’t it a surprising and sad fact of our times,
That people feel more loneliness and alienation?
Everyone’s a photographer, actor, and writer*,
“You may be bright, but, of course, I’m brighter“,
Gone are the days when you could call a friend,
Share your sadness and concern and feel lighter.
The increased focus on self has done us all in,
With bigger bread, the butter has to spread thin,
People can spend loads of money on loved ones,
But to spend time with them is becoming a sin.
People are actually lonelier than ever before,
Some don’t know who is the neighbour next door,
Ever increasing numbers commit suicides now,
But, people don’t appear to care anymore.
Education, Friendship, everything is an investment,
I’ve seen people carrying out a careful assessment,
As to how much return would be there on each,
There is, therefore, always cause for resentment.
We certainly need to take corrective action,
And have more person to person interaction,
How strange it is at this stage we should take stock,
That cellphones, over people, have greater attraction?
….we need to do something here and now.
