Email

This form of communication has revolutionized our world

while degrading our grammar and writing skills.

Recently reading emails from friends I notice that 

there are so many conflicting thoughts or out of sequence thoughts

that grade nine teacher would not give it a passing grade 

With the speed and efficiency it offers people rarely stop 

to compose a coherent letter. 

Whatever comes to mind is thrown down and send is pressed

This often leads to stifled communication 

At least the slow degradation of how we communicate

for if we write poorly then our thoughts and speech begin to follow

Short blurts and thoughts that jump from one incomplete point to the next

And all of this does not even begin to mention spelling.
