We
have closed our eyes to live in illusion,
Reality of the world is
killing with atom's fusion.
Advanced,
we humans have over the ages,
In
spite of innovations, we still listen to the sages.
Surgeons
are capable to change a heart
What
about the nature of greed for a start?
Relationships
break at a drop of a hat,
I
really don’t know from where to start.
Life
has become miserable day-by-day,
Everyone
struggles reaching life’s bay.
Bullets
& bombs fall from politicians fart,
The
world is crumbling like a jelly tart.
Childhood
lost on their backs with load of books,
Parents
rush every morning to earn more & more bucks.
No
one really cares any more what is wrong or right,
Life
is silly busy slipping fingers from morning to night.
Leaders
of nations are selling nation gobbling dollars crisp,
Patriotism
is preached by politicians like hot potato chips.
The
poor bleed to struggle even to breed.
The
rich will have no end to their greed,
Intelligence
and emotions are lying out-of-gate,
Everyone
is glued to TV as if it is an ‘f’ magnate.
The
modern world has become full of red blood sea,
Everywhere,
only killing of innocent poor one can see.

(Poet's Note: This poem was long overdue. When I chanced to see Steve Cutts' illustrations on modern world, the word flow continued to weave the reality of "Our Modern World"!)
*** The Sad Truth About Today’s World Illustrated By Steve Cutts.
Steve Cutts is an illustrator and animator from London. Faced with the
choice of working at McDonalds or studying Fine Arts, he chose the
later. He worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist
before making the leap to freelance work. Cutts makes videos and images
that criticize modern life – he states that insanity of humanity is an
endless pool of inspiration.
