Why Can't the internet learn to speak?

Look at them, prisoners of their screens

Nobody knows what they really mean.

We took freaks and called them geeks

But history proved them very sleek.

We see them speaking in a strange tongue

Something silly of the young

We see them laughing, LOL

When someone does an epic fail.

Why can't the internet just learn how to speak?

This repetition, by now, should be antique

We're amongst a generation

That ignores basic education

Just to be an internet sensation

Standard English deserves respect

More than just autocorrect

They'll be like "chillax"

Instead of facing facts.

There's a world outside of Snapchat Stories

Where understanding one another is...mandatory

And don't get me started on the internet trolls

Those people don't seem to have a sou-

-le good thing to say about the world.

"Cuz I'm savage, you know?

This ain't just for show"

At least that's what they'll say

When they're showing off for bae.

Oh why can't the internet learn to...spell words in the actual correct way?

Typing "your" instead "you're" (you are) it's really not okay.

When I hear them say "lit"

It makes me wanna quit

Oh why can't the internet

Why can't the internet learn to speak.
