Life as a show

There are so many temptations around us,
The labels are lavishly spread.
And though we are of different class,
From reality we all try to escape.

It became important to like someone,
Even if you meeting was by chance.
Simple things have become not so fun,
But sometimes it is the real happiness.

We want to get everything and right now,
Avoiding taste of step-by-step sweet.
To give a smile at strangers we allow,
But share with our beloved so little heat. 

We’re always in a constant rush
And endlessly busy with important things.
But other’s opinion can break and crush,
Faceless people can cut your wings.

And no one is sincerely glad
Of your success which is deserved.
This brutal world turns more and more mad,
The concept of humanity becomes conserved. 

Our kindness today is like weakness.
Compassion is equal to insecurity.
Lack of bravery is treated as goodness.
Recklessness is supposed to be generosity.

The poles of values have changed dramatically,
Fortunately, the soul does not agree with it.
So keen to avoid arrogance permanently,
Enjoying our life like it’s the best gift.
