Poetry Soup and America 2019

Poetry Soup and America, 2019 A country rich in schools and diversity. Many here have esteemed college degrees, Yet, why do Americans communicate by smileys? Worse, we cannot hold a conversation Neither on the telephone, nor in person "Gotta run, gotta go", "Text me later". Why did I ever go to a university? Why does anyone ever want to go? You will end up like the rest, living your entire day on texts! Unable to write a complete sentence. Even a 6th grader can do this! The nation writes in practically Morse Code, Or at best, something eerily similar. Even phone calls, once appreciated, Get hit with the same darn plague. "Gotta Go", is all the rage. This poet feels is human outrage! Thus, Poetry Soup, is a place, Where one can be fully heard and be responded to. Not in a technological, cold way of symbols, But in a fully, intelligent, literal  level. I do mean sentences! No baby words here, nobody would listen. Cute keyboard keys leave me cold. Can't I use words instead of LOL? Do I have to use -)) ? Ugh! With great online sources for words, I stand in shame for not so doing. Where are we all rushing to? What's our ultimate human destination? Why do I sign PR, in such an absurd way? Panagiota is a much more beautiful name. In a world that adores instant delusion! To be part of obnoxious technology and revolution, For me, can be a tragically sad,delusion. However, to be part of The Poetry Soup, is a most blessed and joyous conclusion.  Panagiota Romios 4/29/2019 9:15am
