No one reads poems anymore
They caption
and hashtag
instant like and reaction
No one reads poems anymore
we DM and
we Snap
who even cares about chat
No one reads poems anymore
A fundamental flaw
unless it’s a quote
or motivational mantra
of course
No one reads poems anymore
So what if I still like them?
Maybe you suck at poetry
But
it makes me happy to write it
you can’t change the world by just being like it
No one reads poems anymore
But
that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still write them.
Does it?
