Multiplexes, coffee shops,
Lounge bars, restaurant rooftops,
Designer labels and fancy fast cars,
All contribute to unblemished souls and zero battle scars.
Spa treatments, first class air tickets, a happening night life,
A rich, dashing husband and a trophy wife,
Even charity causes,
All meant to be flaunted,
Without a care in the world for the lesser privileged,
Or the simple things in life that we all take for granted.
New age spiritualism and yoga,
All filling the coffers of the likes of Deepak Chopra.
What will it take to set free,
The mind, the heart, the spirit, and the soul,
Will humankind ever be allowed a reprieve?

did u mean roof top restaurants or restaunrant roof tops??? :D
nice post!
echuse the spelling!
Great post the chosen one! No wonder you are the chosen one! :p
Such is the plight of human kind - and has always been, this is our lot. :)
At the end of the day everyone has a choice to do what they want with their life - try to be a winner in the rat race or take the road less traveled! :)
Would like to race on the road less travelled. Easy to condemn 'the lifestyle' factor but it requires a lot of resolve and belief to live the life. While one mulls over that, I'll have a capuccino on the rooftop...any rooftop. For that mater I'll have anything on the rooftop;-)

"Or the simple things in life that we all take for granted."
...so true,
meaningful poem:)altho did feel u tried to condense alot of things into a confined space...

but its nice anyhow:)
Woah !
All I can say is I'm impressed !
@arrowhead: There is nothing like a good or a bad lifestyle, or way of life. It's about doing what we believe in... :)
