Fast Food Society

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

Very true coming from somebody that is a student at a school. Alot of the students often go to fast food restaurants, a few saying that it's awkward to go to a better restaurant as you have to wait for the food, since they think it's awkward with their friends. Also they usually say alot of the time how they just aren't feeling up to school, until their GCSE's are almost upon them and they start missing those days.

This is a very accurate depiction of modern day society.

We live in this crazy, rapidly moving world. We talk fast. We eat fast. We marry fast. We divorce fast. Everyone is in such a hurry, that we really are in danger of not stopping to smell the roses, until it is all to late. We are all guilty of it. It can take all of one's resolve, to just stop and take a long deep breath and take a close look at what our world has to offer.
This is well written as always, Nisreen. I just had to have a little chuckle to myself about your line in the poem referring to our use of shortened words. LOL.....hmmm. That is something that is strangely familiar to me lately.......i can't quite put my finger on it.....;)
