frivolous: not serious; silly
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
in awe of the vastness of the city's architecture,
i beheld sculptures of intricately carved monuments,
and glossy planks of glass buildings,
thriving under the same sky,
blending historical tales and modern dilemmas together,
an exquisite amalgamation.
yet, amidst this grandeur, i sensed a difference,
a contrast between the structures of old and new,
we lack depth, intricacies nowadays,
evident in these man-made erections,
lacking beauty from inside out,
depicting less effort, crafted without the touch of skilled hands,
unlike the creativity hewn centuries ago,
without the aid of heavy machineries.
a bland, towering glory is nothing more,
than a portrayal of boastfulness,
contemplating this analogy,
i realized how these small details define us.
once, where lovers fought wars of love,
battling distances to deliver envelopes,
filled with dedication to their beloved,
today, we seek effortless connections,
superficial love that we expect to last,
like brittle skyscrapers
