the breakdown of family unit

The breakdown of family unit
As progress and materialistic desire rule
Friendship and values in the back seat
Living it there as members go for wealth and security


The unity in the family
Disorganised leaving to the older generations
Curving out what is left of it
For tomorrow hardly any one can predict


Broken families
It can be rich and poor
It has no rules
It captures all
Greed, power and misery


We know the rules
We suffer for our needs
Forgetting the foundations
Back to where you were raised


The social networks
Bridging it yet it fails
For when the foundation is broken
It has to be mended


We go for short cuts
Money for services
Watch TV
Communication blowing like the breeze


We don't listen
We think of wealth
How to make life easy
For family unit
It is a stage to play
