shape shifters move about free
quite unaware of hurdles
fall in love and fall out too
like items in daily news

such a valentine day show
that even passion’s enforced
all have become fake actors
wearing false smiles as makeup

modern times with brand new tools
aimed at making life better
using many coats of fresh paint
to cover stains of the past

all they do is push away
legacy of memories
that they can go back later
to recall the glory days

envy paints him rich with green
as he broods in daft compare
of his wise yet ageing blood
with the young yet agile youth

tough are the times, so he thinks
when Fred is no longer King
and folks don’t dance to his songs
while teens kiss like set habit

there is no true love anymore,
it’s already ‘gone with the wind’
when movies were black and white
and life was more colourful

he sighs and pulls the trigger
as he fastens his seat-belt
to take the flight to heaven
or somewhere farther than it

not before he set the year
three thousand three hundred three

......

while coming to work, I saw a hoarding for a movie "Time Machine" featuring Jeremy Irons amongst others... amazing what all on earth or beyond inspires us all to write...

thanks for reading,
sudhir
P.S. Fred => Freddie Mercury (from the band Queen) mostly known as the King of Rock N Roll... though not many agree anymore...

Hi Sudhir ...

This is really insightful ... Perhaps you are right ... What the modern times have now are merely a superficial sense of identity and hypocrisy in abundance.

I like this a lot. Very thought provoking.
