As the Years go by

As the years go by 

The photos become clearer 

But our memories begin fading 

The sky becomes hazier 

And the buildings become blatant 

As connections happen more 

The conversations start failing 

The city feels brighter 

But the hearts are hating 

The houses are getting bigger 

But the people have been forsaken 

The populace is living longer 

Even then, time is still hasting 

The world is now smaller 

But the distance stays glaring 

There is music more than ever 

But the silence is blaring 

The horizons are larger 

Yet the genders keep suffering 

The stars are getting more stardom 

Yet the empires are tumbling 

The scope for opinions is wider 

But the intent is weakening

The keyboards are being smashed harder 

However results are still incoherent 

The governments are fiercer 

Yet idolism is somehow relevant 

There are countries going under 

But mankind remains irreverent 

The truths turn farther 

And the lies are prominent 

Living is now tougher 

There really isn’t any sentiment

Communities split in quarter 

Leaving nothing but sediment

Corruption is extensive and major 

There is fault in each and every element 

Schools and colleges smother 

Than smoke in a closed apartment 

Freedom is a myth, oppression a victor 

Going against majority, only an insurgent 

Labels on him, that, us and her 

Honesty, gratitude, respect seem ancient

A day, a week, a month, a year 

Generations passed by, but the emotion is consistent.
