POEM STARTER

Write an Epode based on any theme you like.

An Epode is a style of poetry where each verse is two lines which differ in meter and structure, but the second line is always shorter than the first.

The Regression From Progression

As time goes on, as it changes

People will always evolve


They will always evolve

Always change


Having social bonds, making friends

Online ones


That we don’t talk to, get to be around with

Lacking true connections


Being more together when it comes to things

Finding more common ground


How people can’t find much of it nowadays

Always fighting over something


How we are using more of our brains

Thinking much more often


Making sure we use constant unreliable info

That always randomly show up


That looks totally reliable

Thanks to the perfect internet


Allowing us to use our brains and time

Distracting ourselves


Mindlessly and for who knows how long

Hours, months, even years


Our environments change

More pollution, more climate change


More bad fog, more destroyed habitats

Wasting resources all the time


How we feel also really changes

Feeling more pressured


To please, to impress, to compare very often

Feeling quite all over the place


More stressed, more angry, more depressed

more lazy, more whiny


Less emphatic, more insecure, more negative

More turbulent, more confused, and so on


And as we change as time continuously goes

As our technology gets better and better


We do things differently in life

With how much we do


For we do nothing, sometimes nothing at all

Just sitting idly by


Watching life, letting time go on by

Just stuck


Stuck in ignorance and laziness

Like me!


Because after I am done with this poem

I’ll simply


Simply just mindlessly consume stuff online

Wasting time, just like everyone else


Look at how far we have come as a species

Think about how it’ll be centuries later
