Modern Life Poems - Poems about Modern Life

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 into the air… Got to be a better way… Everyone is shaking With...

("Enemy of the State Merit Badge", 2011, original oil) 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 head a volcano ready to explode From a world gone wrong,...

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. _______________________________________ Happenings |23.05.2021| Poet’s note: On account of restricted movements, part curfew, curtailed traffic has improved the...

Charon 2001 by Michael R. Burch I, too, have stood—paralyzed at the helm watching onrushing, inevitable disaster. I too have felt sweat (or ecstatic tears) plaster damp hair to my eyes, as a slug’s dense film becomes mucous-insulate. Always, thereafter living in darkness, bright things overwhelm. Originally published by The Neovictorian/Cochlea...

The City Is a Garment by Michael R. Burch A rhinestone skein, a jeweled brocade of light,— the city is a garment stretched so thin her festive colors bleed into the night, and everywhere bright seams, unraveling, cascade their brilliant contents out like coins on motorways and esplanades; bead cars come tumbling down long highways; at her groin a railtrack like a zipper...

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 mental illness, No one knows how they will escape from those...

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 everything dont be brasque Rejoice evermore the bible says Pray pray without...

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 at home with your little shake, Dreaming of the turkey you...

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 it’s already yours And coming up after this break.....it’s the daily...

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 are at end, Miseries in life fast grow, What progress do you...
