Skepticism on a not so holy holiday

People go away from their homes,
Because they can't manage to stay,
At home on those holy holidays,
Because of the noise.

Times for contemplation and learning,
Is broken by the loud song singing, And competitions which seek whose,
Music system can play louder.

Times for meeting friends and relatives,
Is broken by the messages and forwards,
Sent on WhatsApp and Telegram whose,
Message came earlier.

Times for celebrating a holiday,
Is broken by the loud rhetoric,
Sent on social media,
That make no sense.

Despair

Tell me about despair, yours, and I\r\nWill tell you mine.\r\nIn the shared story of our despairs,\r\nI may find some connection.\r\n\r\nI've had enough despairs to,\r\nLast a lifetime.\r\nBut the connection can be one,\r\nThat ends my despair.

Depression meals

Depression meals,\r\nStops you from moving.\r\nBecause movement,\r\nMakes you feel less heavy.\r\n\r\nInstant noodles,\r\nMay feed romantic notions.\r\nBut doesn't,\r\nNourish your soul as needed.\r\n\r\nUnhealthy meals,\r\nThat people resort to.\r\nTo get,\r\nOut that gunk that sticks.\r\n\r\nDifficult choices,\r\nAn easy fix for that,\r\nIs to,\r\nMove.\r\n\r\n\r\n
