People Don't Read Anymore

People don’t read anymore
except for tabloid photo captions
instead they wait for the movie
ever dependent on critic’s reactions.

People don’t read anymore
except for friends blogging rambles;
even then the writing is poor
illogical and barely understandable.

People don’t read anymore
except maybe for website headlines;
the content is usually ignored
so their ‘facts’ are ill-defined.

People don’t read anymore
they’ll smoke or park any damn place,
they’ll throw their rubbish wherever;
it's a sad and sorry disgrace.

People don’t read anymore;
they prefer to watch television.
