For The Love of The Antique

Because people do not leave any space before beginning a new paragraph anymore,
I see no demarcation for an introduction and a periodic newness dying into structured lines of monotony.

Because people demolish their bungalows for apartments, and cities do not house homes anymore,
I see gardens decaying and indoor plants instead, fresh in decoration.

Because people go
out for a good check-in and not necessarily for a good time anymore,
I see superficial ostentation cutting deep into meaningful pleasure.

Because people would rather watch movie adaptations instead of ''wasting'' their time reading anymore,

I see the victory of time over quality.

Because people would rather cheat and make it big, they believe integrity does not work anymore.

I see noble principle slain, bleeding in the evil hands of greed and power.

Because people have changed, but there are people who think they have changed enough..

And I see us, because we are those who do not want to complicate our lives anymore.

P.S :
Notice how a person who talks about leaving space before starting a paragraph, that is a grammar freak like myself, is careless enough to begin every line of her poem with the word because.
That, is what you call a grammar freak with a poetic licence.

Lol, this post-script is to bring in a dash of that much-needed comic relief to this serious sounding post. And also probably an anticlimax :D
So basically laugh a lot, have a good day and never, ever forget the classics ;)
