THE MODERN LIFESTYLE ||POEM||

"THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY"

Open your Facebook,

Or Instagram account if you may.

I want to prove my point,

So let's go ahead.

At the first glance do you see

Your ostentatious friend,

Eating dainty salads

And telling you how she lost two pounds

In three days?

Switch on your television

Or Netflix; Amazon prime if you may.

I want to prove my point,

So let's go ahead.

Is "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" on,

And you wished you were one of them

Or on BBC, do you see:

Meghan, Harry, Kate

And you wished you were born there!

You may think,

What a lifestyle they have!

With clothes clinging to their perfect bodies,

With Instagram pictures featuring-

Starbucks in the right hand

And Gucci shades in the left.

Their lives, their picture perfect lives,

Is not the lifestyle that you want.

Dainty salads and soy lattes

Would not let this millennial go too far.

So what is the right lifestyle?

What is the model lifestyle?

I'll tell you my friend.

It's where, you jump in to help the needy,

It's where, you make a difference in the world,

It's where, you do not fear any one,

And it's where, real changes occur.

Yes, I know,

That you are screaming at me

Saying that it's difficult and hard

And I agree with you, truly,

But also consider this once

That even though it's a difficult task,

With great hardships along its way

It is always necessary to be kind,

To help people with all your might,

And to bring the change that you crave.

So let's pledge, today

to follow this model of a lifestyle,

And be truly there, for one another

 be truly there for one another,

 be truly there, for one another.
