Society lost? [Week 38 entry]

Society lost?


Untethered we've become from normal life -
unfastened, loose, adrift upon its seas.
Dissatisfactions race to bitter strife:
untethered we've become from normal life.
Uncovered hurts cool love 'twixt man and wife,
and angry words erupt with careless ease.
Untethered we've become from normal life -
unfastened, loose, adrift upon its seas.
