Being a Responsible Digital Citizen Wazzup, everyone! Hahaha. I am not yet moved on to the theme of our spoken poetry in our Purposive Communication subject. Hahahaha. Well, I am here again to share my piece because I am proud of the outcome of my hard work. So, here was the task given by our professor:

"With the advent of social media and texting can an entirely new way to communicate. Indeed, communication in the digital age is quite different and interesting. On the theme of becoming a responsible global digital citizen, write spoken poetry that features popular text or viral English terms and expressions commonly used among Millenials of today." The given task was quite exciting to me because I love to write and read poems! Yes, especially if its genre is about love and to inspire. Anyway, here's now my poem. ***Note: Beware of slang or millenials words that used in my poem. If you are not familiar of it feel free to ask me in the comment section. :))*** No Cap, Be Responsible. Buzz, buzz, buzz. Ting, ting, ting. Woop, woop, woop. The sounds we keep hearing With the touching and tapping Of every tip of our fingers With the popping and flashing Of every DMs and letters To the screen of computers With a million media users. How intriguing it is, On how technology shook all of us, On how people sharing their tea On how people meeting their bae Oh how people flexing their gold In this so called virtual world. How alarming it is, On how strangers get our things On how our world transforms Into a land of digital systems. Then, the society we live in. Becomes a small chain. Where we can be connected With one press of send Where we can communicate With one dial of your contact Where we can travel With one click of an article What a wonderful invention If we are all a responsible person.

Because many receipts have lay Of squads using it excessively The vibe is shining so brightly To not exploit it irresponsibly. Let's keep our life lowkey, And our solitude high key. Digital wellbeing is a must. To be not a salty tourist So we can feel gucci and giddy In a paradise full of technology So, repeat what I say, I am ready to slay, A responsible digital citizen That can make the universe brighten By spreading the on fleek sloganity No to addiction, yes to responsibility. ***Slang terms:*** DM's - direct message No Cap- seriously Shook - shocking Tea- gossip Bae- girlfriend or boyfriend Flexing- showing Sus- suspicious person Simp or simpy- a try hard to impress someone Stay Woke - Be aware Receipts- evidence Squads- group of people or friends Vibe - the feeling Lowkey - chill or easygoing High Key - intense Salty- upset or exceptionally bitter Gucci - great or excellent Slay- nailed it On fleek - on point My insights As we all know we are in the era of modern technology.
