A sneak peek in the 21st century

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

Its the century where everyone is in a rat race
A race behind happiness, is the only case
But all you achieve, all you get, you still are dissatisfied
Nothin serves to keep a smile on your face.....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

It is the time when everyone is very smart
Everyone has knowledge filled in many carts
But when it comes to application in real life.
Most of them end up falling short....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

It is the time when people have many friends
But the time of loneliness never ends
We have many gadgets to keep in touch
But the wishes to our beloved we rarely send...

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

It is the time when people act very mature
We are able to handle relationships of long distance nature
But the high divorce rate paints a different picture
Like a house of straws, relationships rupture....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

Its the time when we have world at our finger tips
We get things as soon as the word is out of our lips
But with all this technology,came many scams
One person's scandal acts as the others quips....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

It is the time when people fall in love easily
The flexibility and liberal attitude is present in every family
But at the same time people have become very individualistic
That the concept of 'joint-family' now seems silly....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

It is the time when people are taught that they have same status
With same opportunities across all stratus
But yet some people have reservations in place
Denying many their basic rights based on caste, creed and status....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

I live in this era and this is my fate
I wanna think of positives, in this poem, to state
But I am out of ideas and none have come so far
Can you people help your mate.....

Lo behold people! its the 21st century,
Its the mark of good times and end of misery....

hey shamu,

a very nice poem from you. Makes one think where we are going. Do you know? :)

You have some good points but the rhyme scheme looks forced.

You seem to have spent more time looking for pairs of rhyming words than letting your thoughts flow freely.

As far as the next positive is concerned it has to be AMD's true quad core! ;)
