Some #poetry for the weekend .😇
A POOR LIFE THIS IS ...
(My take on William Henry Davies's classic )
A poor life this is , filled with selfies and numerous check in's ,
We make no time for those in despair , including our kin. +

No time to spare , or even share a few words of care ,
For those who need our time ,we gift them a solitaire .
No time to soak in the beauty of #nature and let ourselves free,
For we are too busy posing and posting , akin to a wannabe! +
3/6
No time to fathom what one ought to do with one's life,
For we all are preoccupied in proving ourselves right ;thereby causing others strife.
No time to extend a helping hand , but tweeting aplenty ,
For we all secretly wish to be labelled as a "cognoscenti". +

4/6
No time for our near & dear ones; a joyous conversation heart to heart, But surprisingly express #anguish when they depart.
No time to #compliment our loved ones , but plenty of time for strangers on social sites,
Bereft of humanity ,we lament and share rewrites!! +
5/6
Is this who we really are, or are we putting on a facade ?
I think it's time we give ourselves a good prod.
Agreed man is a social animal ,but our behaviour is despicable,
For unlike animals, we give the least priority to loyalty & utmost to tangibles +

6/6
Probably that is why we know the price of everything ,but the true value of none.
And yet crave for everything under the sun!
A poor life this is , filled with selfies & numerous check in's,
We make no time for those in despair , including our kin....
