Where’s love today? <br />Who’d care to tell me? <br />Or has it all evolved <br />Into mindless sex, blow jobs and one night stands? <br /> <br />Is romance dead and gone forever? <br />Or should its absence be attributed to modern trends? <br /> <br />Where are the roses, songs, and poems? <br />Where are the hugs and kisses? <br />Did all the gentlemen disappear? <br />And crumble into pieces? <br /> <br />What has today’s society turned into? <br />High school girls turn into mothers <br />Before they graduate and go to college, <br />And learn the art of earning cash. <br /> <br />Movies and TV shows portray more sex <br />Than romance, and turn the idea of true love into trash. <br /> <br />So here’s my final statement <br />On this so called “Ode to Modern Love” <br />My attempt at making my point straight. <br />Does modern youth today even care about each other? <br />Or, do they just care about their slutty playboy reputation <br />In the eyes of their brainwashed peers and getting laid? <br /> <br />In other words, <br />Are MTV and Hollywood to blame <br />For the corruption of the feeble minds and hearts <br />Of our youth today?<br /><br />Irene Bitter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-modern-love/
