Obituary: Poetry died today

Obituary: Poetry died today
it is survived
by voices stifled in the heat
of all the System has to offer
Poetry was born
when humans learned to speak
and the rhyme it used
carried human stories
before Writing was developed
(see Obituary)
Poetry was a caring member
of the Human Community
and lived a long and valued life
It succumbed to the diseases
of complacency and censorship
Services will be held
by those that have hearts
that still beat to its rhythms
