It Changed The Way We ....


It changed the way we....


I don’t believe in digital payment,
Said someone in analogue,
Rather I stand in a que in the hot sun,
Now I pay my bills online,
As say it’s absolutely fine,
It changed the way we pay.

I never finish meals without sweets,
It’s a necessity not a treat,
Clattered the sweet teeth,
Today the shops are closed,
Small meals are eaten sans any sugary toast,
It changed what we eat.

Always purchased the latest trend,
Up to date as the ads ask us to spend,
Blurted the shopping bag bulge,
Roll up to the present day,
The spiders rule the racks,
As many make do with the essential stash,
It’d say, it changed what we buy.

Dressed tip top,
An elaborate walk to the workshop,
Pleasantly present the office goers,
Dawns the day that begins and the same way, every single day,
Now it is decked in decent t-shirt, preferable without a fray,
It changed the way and reason we dress.

Clocking the office from nine to five,
I has no shortcuts, no naps time hives,
Ticking precisely tuned to the office clock,
Now a days I simply pick up where I left, a few hours ago,
Work is all 24 hours vertically split up into shifts,
It changed the way and hours we work.

Some changes are for the best, I accept,
It is imperative old annoying habits are laid to rest,
While some other changes should not settle,
It might aggravate the metal muddle.

Up surging and methodically, it came in waves,
Changed the way we live, believe and behave,
And yet we can only accept silent pains might stay unrelieved,
We are in the company of anguish, distress periodically,
A virus completely changed the way we think.
A shift in the way we perceive a future life permanently.
