Shorthand

omg, lol, lmao
roffl, rofflcopter,
all the wayo,
c u 2moz,
dw, i'l c u,
we've lost our written,
will we stop speaking 2?
hoo's 2 blame?
itz all the peepl,
wat can we do,
language is now feeble,
nvm, IM is 2 blame,
but hoo invented it?
wat is ther name?
our language has come to a meaningless mess,
while the words like & much
take control i confess,
tho i say them as much as the next,
i see the problem is IM's and texts,
weve ruined our language and wat hav we left?
no thou, shalt or thee,
but like, dunno, do u get me?

This poem I wrote shows how language these days is becoming a shorthand version of what it used to be. We use language that doesn't even make sense and it is all a shorthand version of something else. We have no order in it, and many words have been lost.
My p has many rhyming parts to it, but some parts are just free verse. I have tried to emphasize how the language is affecting us by using it throughout the poem. This is standard MSN language, and it is how the language is used, or even abused. This was really just to throw in a point of perspective, and it shows how the language affects everyone.
