Lost Purpose



We live in this most advanced ,complex world

Tall glass buildings,grand fly overs & fancy cars

Yet, we fail to notice the hungry homeless

Begging for our attention to get by each day

IPods, iPads, iphones in every street corner

We are busy browsing our smart gadgets

Live tweets, facebook updates to the world

Yet, we don’t stop and say hello to our neighbor



We Spend hours surfing and chatting online

Catching up with long lost high school friends

Yet, we don’t ask our spouse how her/his day is

Watching reality shows, singing competitions

And dancing stars are our new pass times

Yet, we don’t see the wars in our own back yards

To take care the jobless, helpless & the addicted



We champion the freedom to speak, demonstrate

As a human right, yet we accept the dictators

Around the world as it is their norm, culture

We live in a society every wants to be famous

Yet, no one wants to work hard to achieve it



We live in a place where we make dishwashing liquid

Using environmentally friendly, organic real lemons

Yet, lemonade for kids with artificial flavors & sugars

We shed millions on supplements and diet programs

Yet, fail to include fresh fruits and veggies to our diet



Isn’t that long a go we cut own grass, walked the dogs

Grew our vegetable garden, milked our own cows

Attended church every Sunday and prayed for world peace?

We live in a such a world that we embrace new technology

To divide us over land, race, skin color,politics and religions

We have forgotten the ultimate truth of existence

All things must die, regardless of their purpose
