Nobody keeps any word nowadays
Words are now a combination of a few alphabets only,
Meaningless, colorless and so senseless they are –
Like paper flowers with no merit inside them.
Nobody keeps any words nowadays
======================

Oh, how beautifully you have depicted this hypocrisy and hollowness of ours in just four lines! I find this emotion expressed in these four lines extremely relevant to me also. I have also been thinking about why 'Nobody keeps any word nowadays'! Well done, dear poet!
Words spoken by shallow people create emptiness for the receiver of their false words that fall into a dark place that has no heart! Great write!
A great write though in a pessimistic mood. After all it too is a part and parcel of our day to day experience. Since every coin has it's two sides words coming from sincere, gentle and mature people may not be hollow and uttered with the intent to stick-up with. Positive approach generally helps. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
Hollow words clatter in our ears giving us no comfort! Masked faces grin! But hard it is to find true hearts with the richness of love! Let us at least be sincere in our words and action! Great write!
