Illiterate

composition inadapt
unprivy to text
sentances allude these
grammatically challenged
unable to comprehend
sinister fine print

apprehensive citizans
without a clue as to
what warnings are
written on walls
oblivious of hand bills
invitations
foreclosure statements
want ads
classifieds
obituaries
all unabsorbed
by those lack
in literary ability

Long time no read :)

Its a sad thing in this day and age
that a man or woman cannot read or write,
I am not the best speller in the world
but the more I write the more my spelling
improves

I like both stanza's I cant pick a favourite
I cant see anything I could offer
all in all a good write

kind regards Jayne-Chloe

as you may need ....
why illiteracy is our birthright
if there had been no politicians
we would have been like them...
they mostly are illiterate at @ any rate
