In The Darkness
We have eyes
And can see,
But can't see this world
As it is.
Don't know the smell of this Earth
Or the feel of this rain,
All we know is the touch on the screen,
For which we are always keen,
Now its even a part of tween.
They don't remember the moment
When they saw the red Sun
For the last time.
They haven't seen this blue sky,
Haven't seen this green grass,
Haven't seen the beauty of this world
As it is.
All we know is black of the darkness
And the bright screen;
Thinking that is happiness
And it never been.
Can't talk to a guy face to face,
Can't make friends by shaking hands,
All we know is Facebook and requests.
Can't ask " How are you?" in person,
Can't enjoy a talk with your friends,
All we know is to chat on WhatsApp
And just to ask "S'up?"
Now you have dual face
That is you and social you.
We are running in a pace
To be in this race.
To keep up with the technology's pace
To get some space in this place
But in this race,
We forget our place
In this real world.
Living in this era,
An era of smart phones and broad screens,
Now social work is just for social media
And sweet and poetic words are just for updating status;
Even though we don't have any status.
We have left the reality far behind,
Now love is just a four letter word that no one mind.
Our world is that what gets inside the lens
And relationships are just Facebook status.
Acting happy in the virtual world,
But deep down inside,
Its pitch black as this world
And all you can see
Is the darkness of loneliness.
Searching for happiness
In the world that never exists.
Day by day we are forgetting to laugh
And all we know is LOL and ROTFL.
Languages and arts are dying slowly,
And we all are getting lonely,
'Cause no one cares to write.
Emotions have turned into emojis.
Its not bad to be in this social world,
But don't forget the real world.
Don't take the light from your life,
'Cause there will be nothing left in this life.
