This is the first poem that I wrote in this form. The form is called the Tomes of Poetry.

Browning grasses mock a young spring,
Trivial and superfluous.
Our people thirst and starve for life.
Screaming loud yet daring nothing,
Our people thirst and starve for life.

The forward horizon calls us
Learn methods of democracy
From below and beyond triumph for life.
