Politically Correct
Young people today
seem afraid to be alone
with their thoughts...
needing faces
and twits
to distract
or else fits...
fearing to write
without spell-check
or a grammar that links
needing to dress-up
in garish array what
past generations
early-on
knew
stinks
I think, spontaneity
is more telling
of the good we are,
and of our lack
and loss—
today revealing
a modern society
where correct
is unfortunately
woefully false….
