New Rules. for Friend Sean

 

New Rules.

 

Pretty kimonos.

Now replaced by western dress.

Progress : I suppose,

function before prettiness

Old traditions

 are discarded carelessly.

Modern notions

 displace the old courtesy

No one show respect.

Me first is the constant cry

A price we must pay.

Following the western way.

In our striving for success.

No time now for politeness.

 

A choka sonnet

"Function before prettiness"
It is an unfortunate truth.
This is a good poem, could be better, but i liked that last line. As well as the one i just mentioned.
With All Due Respect,
