Private Life Made Public

Life is facing a bizarre phase unlike before. 

Life in social media defines its beauty. 

People living together give surprises online, 

Even when they are at the reach of fingertips. 

No real emotions involved in the wishes, 

Genuine feelings are veiled behind the screens. 

  

Couples living a hostile life in distant rooms 

Stay close for fake smiling selfies 

To merely renew the status of the day. 

Lovers click the pics of their clasping hands 

While their lips are locked in love, and yet 

Their secret dating is the talk of the town. 

  

Cherished and bitter memories are celebrated online 

Likes and comments add color to the day 

Uploaded selfies are watched over and over 

And the diamond necklace the beloved gifted 

The most viewed lives are the blessed, they think. 

  

Anything and everything is captured 

To entice the lustful and the admiring eyes. 

Private life is exposed to accumulate comments. 

Being viral is what makes them euphoric. 

Less-liked pics make them hate their lives. 

Isn't life going through a bizarre phase?
