Echoes of the Urban Symphony

A Sonata for Modern Times

By Melania J.L.Published 2 years ago 1 min read

Modern life, a fast-paced race

Filled with chaos, a frantic pace

Technology ruling, our lives enslaved

A never-ending cycle, we can't escape

-

The city streets, crowded and loud

People rushing, heads bowed

Eyes glued to screens, lost in a trance

Disconnected from reality, in a digital dance

-

Gone are the days of simple joys

Replaced by gadgets, our new toys

Human interaction, a dying art

As we hide behind screens, afraid to depart

-

Nature's beauty, slowly fading away

Concrete jungles, a familiar display

Pollution, a price we pay

For progress, we blindly obey

-

But in this madness, a glimmer of hope

A longing for simplicity, a way to cope

Amidst the chaos, a yearning for peace

A chance to slow down, to find release

-

For modern life, though filled with strife

Has given us the power, to reach new heights

To connect with others, across the globe

To share our stories, and break the mold

-

So let us not be slaves, to this modern life

But embrace its gifts, and use them right

For in this sonate, a reminder to see

The beauty in modernity, and set ourselves free.

Thank you for reading!
