Global Consumerism Poem by John Knight

Global Consumerism

Rating: 2.8


This is another PALINDROMIC POEM with a difference. One normally writes the first half of the palindromic poem and then reverses it. Because of this the second half of thhe poem has lots of inversions WILL I instaed of I WILL whic turns a statement into a question etc. What I have done with this poem is to write it in the usual way and then reverse it so the the second half reads better that the first half. To afficianados of Palindromic Poems this will come as a pleasant surprize and I would value their comments.

Consumerism Global on limits put must we
Pollutants of tons of millions produce we
Uninhabitable Earth Planet makes which.
Effects Warming Global about debate we
This about anything do we do?
Pollution acctually limit we do!
Explodes Planet Earth which at limit there is
And is there limit at which Planet Earth explodes?
Do we acctually limit pollution?
Do we do anything about this?
We debate about global effects
Which make Planet Earth uninhabitable
We produce millions of tons of pollutants
We must put limits on Global Consumerism!
