In the Shadows of the Modern Age

**In Shadows of the Modern Age**

In shadows deep where purpose wanes,  
A silent cry, a heart that strains,  
Comfort found in screens that glow,  
Yet deeper truths we fail to know.

We chase the fleeting, lose the fight,  
In endless scrolls, we dim our light.  
Once strong, now lost in mediocrity,  
Men seeking meaning, yet feel so free.  

Masculinity, a twisted guise,  
Where strength is shamed, and courage dies.  
Protectors turned to silent ghosts,  
In a world that fears what matters most.  

Pleasure’s lure, a tempting snare,  
In fleeting highs, we find despair.  
Chasing whims, we drift away,  
From bonds that ground us, day by day.  

Faith dismissed, a relic past,  
Morality fades, shadows cast.  
In nihilism’s cold embrace,  
We wander lost, we search for grace.  

But rise, oh men, reclaim your ground,  
In discipline, true strength is found.  
Let purpose guide, let vision soar,  
Build legacies that matter more.  

Forge connections, seek the real,  
In vulnerability, learn to heal.  
Reject the noise, embrace the fight,  
With courage, step into the light.  

For in each heart, a fire burns,  
A call to rise, a chance to learn.  
Together strong, with faith as guide,  
We’ll break the chains, our souls untied.  

So let us stand, united, bold,  
In stories shared, let wisdom unfold.  
In shadows deep, we’ll find our way,  
With discipline and purpose, we’ll seize the day.
