Where We Are living!

We are living in the Brave New World.

Where flowers bloom from stone.

Where the gap from Earth to the Moon is closed in seconds.

 

We are living in the Age of Reason.

Where we can openly challenge God!

Where we question even our own existence.

 

We are living in a world where everything seems like the best gift.

Yet, all these gifts are like the Trojan Horse.

 

Money is available but calmness is missing.

Technology is accessible but adjacency has disappeared.

Family is present but commitment is absent.

Education is obtainable, but application is lacking.

Life is at hand but pleasure is void

 

Where are we? Do we even know?

 

No, we are living in a world that helps with one hand

And it’s helps like a Faustian bargain

 

It offers intellect.

But steals innocence.

 

It provides luxury.

But it withholds comfort.

 

It grants life. 

But withdraws happiness.

 

Is this what we call the Brave New World?

Is this what we call the Age of Reason?

Is it really…?
