This is today, what is tomorrow?

Cacophony of sounds,
Myriad of colors,
Gloss and glamour,
Technology steaming ahead,
Influencers "experts" abound,
Politicians preaching the “truth”,
AI hiding in the shadows,
Ambition overcoming humility,
This is “civilization”,

Beneath the shiny exterior,
Silence of the suffering,
Tears of the children,
Tragedy of war,
This is “reality”,

Simplicity and honesty,
Laughter and joy,
Moral compass pointing to our hearts,
This is the civilization we need,
To achieve the holy grail,
Of peace and harmony.
