Ain’t it a Shame

I am a writer

I’m not your average

Texter

I hardly

Even use text language.

What would be the harm

In typing out

A full sentence

Where abbreviations

Only went so far

Now they are

For every word.

I’m a teen

And

I hate my generation.

Reasons

Here’s a few.

We’ve degraded the

English language

Compressed it

Down to letters

And numbers.

It’s sad

In that of degrading

For the reason

That

It is pure laziness.

Every century

The slow process

Of the changing of language

Is occurring

And in this century

It is of

The texting generation

The rise

Of

Single letters

And numbers.

I’m a writer

A poet

A person

Who has deep respect

For the uses of the

English Language

And find the forming

Of the new language

Quite a

Disgrace

But that

Is just my personal opinion.

The history of

This new language

Came from technology

And the cellular phone

Where they don’t want

To type the lousy

Full word in

Because it takes

Too much time.

Ain’t it a Shame?

The new language

For if this is the future

Of my language

Even though I want

To live long

I don’t want to be around

When this all goes down.

One day

They are going to

Translate this poem

And say

Omg

This dude was right.
