We live in a fast world. Scrolls, swipes, likes, and endless feeds compete for our attention. Yet, in the middle of all this digital noise, poetry still whispers — and we still pause to listen.
Why? Because poetry speaks to what technology cannot replace: the human soul.
A tweet can trend, but a poem can transform. A video can go viral, but a verse can echo for generations. Poetry slows us down. It makes us reflect, even if just for a moment, on love, loss, hope, and the meaning of being alive.
Spoken word especially thrives in this age. On YouTube, TikTok, Instagram — poets are reaching thousands with nothing but their voice, rhythm, and raw honesty. It proves that even now, poetry is not outdated; it is reborn.
Poetry matters because people matter. As long as we feel, we will always need words to carry those feelings. And poetry will forever remain the vessel.
