American English

by Jad   Nov 10, 2010


A downgraded nation,
fallen
resembling words spoken
from the ages past,
encrypted into the present.

Not withstanding fallen words,
losing
meaning and definition;
adhering rules and
way of English punctuation.

Straying the correction
from view,
buried under deception,
tangled sentences,
losing American English.

    Yes with all those slangs and made up words, our language seem to be straying from its proper use..keep penning!

    I had absolutely no idea that this one was yours, I thought it was someone else's. Excellent piece of poetry, I thought you expressed yourself perfectly.

    One of my pet peeves is the way people, myself included at times, butcher the English language. Well done.
