THE GONE DAYS FULL OF LIFE

I live in a world,
where things get loved 
and people get slayed.
I live in a place where
blood is all I see,
and nobody cares.
Were we born to be played with and hurt?
Were we born to see Just Pain?
Where have those days gone when
hugs and love meant what they were
and not just some casual courtesy?
the time when families would sit down and pray
and talk at dinner tables and say-
“oh! You know how John said his word?”
or “You know miss Lissy is engaged?”
Do we even know who our family is?
or are they just there for name sake!
Laughter and talking no longer seen
as all shut away in their busy screens.
the grass overgrown and swings all bare,
what have we done in the prospect of gain.
Progressed have we?
or have simply lost the meaning of living?
why is it that doing my homework is more useful
than spending some time with my troop?
have we stooped so low in life,
that some stranger helps someone 
and it becomes breaking news?
where are those values that we swear by
and took pride in following them?
are we going to teach this nonsense 
to the coming generation we raise?
how stupid and nonsensical we have become
that we teach our kids to compete than to love.
to gain than to help, what have we done? 
who is responsible for this retard community
that does says “be Yourself” but “be like Rick”.
