Analysis of MODERN PEOPLE

Ruman Bashir 1995 (Kashmir)



Why do we call for comfort and stability
When we know we lack  ability
To give ourselves the time and importance
To show us the  certainty
That hope prevails all , that love stays younger
That we need people for our sanity.

That we look for rivers , meadows, rains
To forget the pain of soul
But this pain stays loyal through  every toll
These rains bring memories and melodies
Of goer and vitality
Of sweetness and salinity.
Of our destinies merging
Of our fates colliding.

That's when we start to realize so drowned in our animosity
We fail to appreciate slightest  love with pure clarity.
We fail to appreciate  kind words beyond the barbarity.
So lost in our disparity , we make our lives hell
Full of venom and  hate , we become the tragic reality.

Ruman Bashir .

About this poem

It is a dig on modernisation and how it has messed up people's thinking ability where they feel confused about their feelings and what they want in life
