Fast Food Society

Fast Food Society

A Poem by Nisreen

The clocks ticking
Minds left by some screen

The lines we push
Hearts we shove

The gratifying meal
Wrapped up in sulfate

The fast wires
Reaching you anytime of day

A caffeine version
of papers flying in the air

Speed dating
Tindering along 

The LOL of our BRB
even words have shortened

No slow down signs
in this madness of fast food souls

the malnutrition
of the heart

So true and so sad that life is consuming us at the same time as we think that we are the ones who are consuming it. Well done on this lovely poem.

You are welcome ^_^
Curiosity, your piece explores an important part or chapter of our time. You mold multiple scenarios and elements in which we see in the world into a finely sorted poem. Awesome!

It's indeed true that the world goes to fast, everything is at a high speed, our lives too. We have to slow down. Thank you for sharing this excellent poetry. :) Rudi

Thanks Rudi
everything is expected to be instantaneous these days. i feel weighed down by it, like I'm not allowed to live life at my own speed. we are losing everything natural and organic.. your message truly encompasses all aspects of life. We are rushing through an already short life span YOLO-ing the entire time, stuffing faces with poison, lungs clogged with smoke, eyes flooded by materialistic wants.. minds, spirit and meaning lost in the hustle.. hopefully you awaken some souls with your writings Nisreen! you certainly get mine going! :)

Thank you A. :)
Glad i can
Everything is so fast and we've become a society of throwaways even relationships. First sign of hardship, throw that relationship away and get another one. True love and commitment is not what it is today . One of your best writes for me !

Lol .... You paint quite The image there
The time we live in is so fast. We look at the time as being sometime, that does not matter. We travel way to fast, our lives are driven by the desire to complete everything in a matter of moments,

Using our passion for fast food is a metaphor for the way we want life to be cut and paste to fill any void quickly...hurry, hurry!! Our addiction to tweets and selfies and having a phone that does everything but cook dinner for you...texts replacing conversation, socialization.
Very well written, nice job. take care...dan
