The World We Live In Today Poem by Dave Tanwar

The World We Live In Today

Rating: 5.0


the world we live in today
where father carries ashes of son
and life smokes up in ashtray

fetters of ignorance trap our feet
books teach us how to live
but life remain burried beneath street

youth is wasted in distress of future
future when becomes present
present remain but a glimpse of past rear

passion remain burning dwell on hope
obligations replace dreams
like all dreams with darkness of night had elope

we are in a war of survival here
desires where are kept on stake
and smile of lips is left in despair

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
sometimes there a feeling arise inside your mind about what you are doing and why you are doing what you are doing? and if we look at the life we live, sometimes the life becomes an obligation trapped inside the moral duties, responsibilities where we are told to sacrifice your dreams and desire for there is something more important that what you crave for. we do things for the heck of doing it, and things we enjoy doing, which gives us satisfaction and make us happy appears like a bridge too far.
