Modern Love

Written By: Rishik S. Bedi

Society is evolving rapidly

The beating hearts, dull in agony

The hawk chases the sun to end its throe

When will the heart glow? When will the heart glow?

Love exotic to ones eyes

And cheers exotic to the ear

Affection now known as a lie

A mere manipulation of the puppeteer

Value of care has risen

Compassion is running low on stock

Money has many eyes imprisoned

The cries of the child muffled

Cries of the thunder ignored and shoved

Brewing a storm of mental despair

Welfare and satisfaction exploited by the name of love

Society is set to aflair

Ignorance, has the world conquered!

Confused by this phenomenon labelled love

Relationships ruined chasing the happiness that was once altered

For fame, beauty, wealth and success; the framework of our modern day love

Society is evolving rapidly

The beating hearts; dull in agony

The hawk trails to the sun to end its throe

But when will the heart glow? When will the heart glow?
