Today's generation is so involved in technology and "here and now;" poetry is put on the back burner. Earlier generations memorized and could quote poems, along with famous readings or books; the children of today quote song lyrics and lines from movies. A good number of American citizens don't know the Pledge of Allegiance, not to mention the National Anthem. I think that it's great that poetry is being put in current music, yet I feel as though a good portion of our generation will not recognize or appreciate the poetry.
