READING, THE LOST ART

Nobody reads anymore

Tablets and mobiles galore

Social skills are lacking 

Books simply sent packing 

A generation of mutes 

Taught by faceless suits 

Can we turn the tide

Get the kids onside

A marathon i shall run

And when i hear the gun

I'll set off on my quest

And do my very best

To raise awareness to the masses

To all the lads and lasses 

Hoping books can come again

And Nintendos can be slain

I'm aware it's  a big ask

So please help me with my task 

     Im running for the reader organisation which is a charity that is trying to reintroduce reading as a social development tool to all walks of life , just £1 is all i ask,  thanks for reading my poem
