A house, a car, as nice and expensive
A focus on things, so fixed and intensive
The morals are gone, the ego is lying
The soul is eclipsed and silently crying
Prayer is left, faith is obscured
By drinks and by sex our egos are lured
Stocks and cash demand the attention
No place for the spiritual dimension
Even if creed and religion’s alive
The ego makes it a reason for strife
No thought during prayer, only through lips
It’s hardly a cure to the soular eclipse
Prayer with heart and prayer with mind,
Acts without strife, and randomly kind
Are the way of the good ones, the way of the wise
Our world and our lives are meant to be nice
So very relevant to the times that we are living in. My favorite line is: The soul is eclipsed and silently crying
Saying much, very good title of the poem and a lovely affinity to rhyming, which is quite rare lately - this makes me think that there is some eclipse of the good old rhyme ;) in the contemporary poetry...
Prayer with heart and prayer with mind, Acts without strife, and randomly kind Are the way of the good ones, the way of the wise Our world and our lives are meant to be nice.. Neatly written with utter care liked the ending lines very much keep on writing ur doing a great job...

The soul is eclipsed and silently crying i agree with you completely, the inner soul, the inner voice has been crying for somtime but in the chaos of the outer world desires it is not really heard..... 10 +

A very lovely poem with pathos for modern deteriorating values which obscure our real self. You are very good in spicing up your poems with simplicity of emotions. Thanks for sharing.
