Modernity and Its Dangerous Mentality and Activity

Be happy and do your duty,

Pray also to the Almighty,

Be kind to the society,

Admire that which is pretty,

Pity that which is petty,

Have in thoughts clarity,

Fill heart with holy purity,

Admire if seen is beauty,

Fate will be always naughty,

So, have touch with Divinity!

Modernity has no mercy,

Cruelty is its only policy,

It will have deep jealousy,

In spoiling it is busy,

It lacks basic courtesy,

It prefers being lazy,

It acquires ecstasy

If you feel so uneasy

With a future not rosy,

Your loss is its fantasy!

It won't give you any care,

It is never ready to share,

Your agonies, it won't bear,

It will never at all be fair,

It will give a deep scare,

To spoil you, it will prepare,

Love is in its case rare,

It may stop flow of air,

To destroy you, ever dare,

Your feelings, it will tear!

Carry on life with caution,

Use always determination,

Show good concentration,

Have guts for protection,

Show to all proper affection,

Fear is the worst infection,

Talk not, but show in action,

Be careful in goals' selection,

Give no room for inaction,

Get out of life satisfaction!
