Family

A home, a fortress, a sacred space, 

Laughter and love, a tight embrace. 

Slowly, we invite the stranger in, 

Through screens that glow, our patience thin. 

Now, hollow echoes in empty halls, 

A text, a post, no real calls. 

"Too busy," we echo, a chorus so hollow, 

In the stranger's footsteps, we blindly follow. 

"Independence," he claims, "is our strength," 

Inclined towards stupidities wavelength. 

Minds influenced, by a strangers' creed, 

Blinding them from what they truly need. 

Families, once strong, now barely cling, 

To the remnants of love, a broken wing. 

Divorce not a tragedy but a modern norm, 

Leaving children weathered by the storm. 

Send a card, make the call, don't let love stall, 

Open your hearts, and let barriers fall. 

Rebuild the family, strong and tight, 

Don’t let a stranger win this fight…
