A Strange Day(Haiku Poem)

Haiku poems are becoming very popular these days. The charm of these poems is that they are always short and concise and often express a unique thought or feeling. I have written this Haiku poem in the 5-7-5 pattern; you can figure out how by counting the number of syllables.

A Strange Day

A strange day has come
Everyone on a run
No time to live life

Gardens, parks and lawns
Villages, cities and towns
All in a mad race

They save and they save
They run after tomorrow
Keep nothing for now

Young age but no youth
Roads without destinations
Where are we going?

When comes the old age
There is nothing but money
No joy, only fame

With kids no one plays
With roses no one now sits
Happiness is gone

When there are tears
No one wipes them off for you
No friends any more

There are no long walks
With friends and companions
No jokes to laugh at

No fun in this run
Why are we living like this?
Can someone tell me?

Where are the days old
Of helping hands and kind words?
They seem long gone now

Why not live a life
Enjoy everything nice
Smile and die in peace?
