Laughing at the Ridiculousness of Our Daily Struggles

The Absurdities of Modern Life

Life can be quite absurd, it's true

Like searching for Wi-Fi when there's nothing to do

Or taking a selfie in front of a wall

To show the world you're having a ball

Oh, the absurdities of modern life we pursue

In modern life, we're always in haste

Our schedules are jam-packed with no space to waste

We spend hours on social media sites

Ignoring real life and its delights

Our priorities seem quite misplaced

We live in a world of constant noise

Where our thoughts are drowned by endless ploys

Of technology, ads, and screens galore

We forget what it's like to just explore

And appreciate the simple joys

We work and toil day and night

To earn our bread and keep our plight

But we forget to stop and look around

At the beauty that surrounds

The things that truly make life bright

So let's take a step back and just breathe

And cherish the moments that we receive

Life's absurdities can be overwhelming

But we can find joy in the simplest things

And make each day a little less deceiving.
