Far from Ideal

Far from Ideal

When did we lose the focus? the plot?
Lost emotion and goodness 
We shed the lot.

Community is but a foreign concept
Every man for himself
A helping hand?
Nay, a hidden agenda.

The fabric of society held together feebly by tweets and likes
And facebook pokes-
Didnt you know?
Sending letters is a thing of the past
Nothing lasts.

A flash in the pan
A one night stand
Flick right if you dare
Find a match then and there.

So false, so superficial
So hesitant to make things official.

Love is rare
Lust is abundant
Commitment and marriage 
A sacrament reduntant.

It saddens my heart
It weights heav-i-ly
The flaws of today
There are so many.

I don't belong here-
Nor do you
We've been robbed in the night 
Of our home and the truth.

Very powerful words and well-written! With technology, we have lost true intimacy.

Linda, I have to agree. I think that is what we all feel- loss - with moments of relieving and sustaining contentment/happiness.
