If the following poem seems a bit strange, it may be because it’s written in a format called Echo Verse. I’ve written two poems in this format and, although I’m not particularly fond of the format, I am passionate about the content. Masses: We no longer want to hear of an earth that’s ill. Masses: Why must you dredge up negativity and mud? Masses: Can’t you see we are content with our lot? Masses: What can be done to change reality’s demand? Masses: Stop clearing up our daily happy haze. Masses: How do you purpose such large reform? Masses: You’re mad to believe in the revolution of which you speak. Masses: Then, tell us, what will happen if we refuse?
