In a world dominated by superficial digital interactions, “Fractured Bonds…” critically examines the essence of true relationships, emphasizing the hollowness of “likes” and “hearts.” The poem sheds light on the absence of genuine intimacy instigated by relentless busyness and the distractions of screens, resulting in the deterioration of meaningful bonds. Nevertheless, it presents a call to action, urging the pursuit of authentic ties through human touch and introspection, advocating for a liberation from digital constraints to fully embrace the transformative power of love.

In swift swipes, connections made,
A shallow pool where faces played.
Likes and hearts, a fleeting thrill,
Yet real connection stands still.

Busyness, a badge we wear,
For intimacy, there’s little to spare.
Screens glow brighter, voices dim,
Lost in the echo, a lonely hymn.

Fast food romance, quick and light,
But love that simmers burns ever bright.
We chase the fleeting, the ever new,
And forget the depth of the tried and true.

Blood no longer a sacred tie,
Brothers in conflict watch empires die.
Parents, consumed by selfish desires,
Leave children adrift, fanning the fires.

In the world of shadows, let light pour,
Embrace the silence, seek the core.
Beyond the screens, the virtual walls,
Hear the whispers of ancient calls.

As seasons change, so can we,
Unplugged hearts set wild and free.
In human touch, in shared embrace,
We’ll find our way, we’ll find our place.

Let’s rise above the digital storm,
And in love’s true presence, transform.
Embrace the timeless, cherish the now,
For hearts connected, the world will bow.
