O This Modern World! Poem by DM W

O this modern world
With all its bright promises:
It offers so much!
Yet how many times does it
Fail to satisfy
The soul? It's like a prolonged
Roller coaster ride.
It moves too fast and leaves one
Feeling nauseous.
It's very hard to slow down.
Burn out is common.
Addictions and suicides
Are rife. O is there
An exit from this rat race?
There's an absence of
Substance and meaning? Is there
Something good and true
We can pin our hopes upon?
