Dear friends, today’s society is being torn apart by a strange contradiction – we long for poetry more than ever, yet look down upon poets more than ever.
When algorithms dominate reading and short videos dismember thinking, poetry is compressed into “golden quotes” and poets are simplified into “Internet celebrities”. We consume emotions but refuse to gaze deeply. We chase after traffic, but forget the silent questioning. True poets linger on the fringes, while pseudo-poetry floods the hot search list – this is not a cultural prosperity, but a spiritual anemia.
Even more absurdly, in this era that urgently needs criticism and healing, poets are pushed to two extremes: either they are placed on a pedestal and become commercial symbols; Either be dismissed as useless and become an ornament of The Times. But poetry is never the supplier of answers; rather, it is the guardian of questions. When society suddenly collapses – no matter what. The collapse of trust, the contamination of language, or the disappearance of meaning – those overlooked verses often predict this fever first.
Please remember: Poets are not cheerleaders of The Times, but night watchmen. When you are lost in the torrent of data, those stubborn and inappropriate sentences might be seeking the key to the lost soul.
诗人的困境与时代的病症
Anna惠子
各位朋友，今天的社会正被一种奇怪的矛盾撕裂——我们比任何时候都渴望诗意，却又比任何时候都轻视诗人。
当算法统治阅读，当短视频肢解思考，诗歌被压缩成“金句”，诗人被简化为“网红”。我们消费情绪，却拒绝深度的凝视；我们追逐流量，却遗忘沉默的叩问。真正的诗人在边缘徘徊，而伪诗意充斥热搜——这不是文化的繁荣，而是精神的贫血。
更荒诞的是，这个亟需批判与疗愈的时代，却将诗人推向两种极端：要么被捧上神坛，成为商业符）号；要么被斥为无用，沦为时代的装饰品。但诗歌从不是答案的供应商，而是问题的守护者。当社会突然崩塌——无论是。信任的溃败、语言的污染，还是意义的消失——那些被忽略的诗句，往往最早预言了这场高烧。
请记住：诗人不是时代的啦啦队，而是守夜人。当你们在数据洪流中迷失时，那些固执的、不合时宜的句子，或许正在寻找失去的灵魂钥匙
