Living Life With Short Terms

We say ooops on our accidents throughout the day.
We say owww when hurt physically.
We say tv instead of television.
We say poet instead of living, walking poetic mastermind.
We say internet,when it's really a guide to the world.
We say U.S.A., why not United States of America, come on people it's country we 
live in.
We say fries,let's at least respect their background and culture,by saying french 
fries.
We shout "get the phone". My fellow people,let's symbolize Alexander Gram Bell 
and shout "get the telephone".
Most people say the noun "us",I say we the people.
I say "we" because, we are a group, and a very special one.
We live our life on short terms and don't even realize it.
