Beauty Lost - Echo Poetry

Me. What beauty catches one's eye? Echo. May I? Me. Please do elaborate my friend. Echo. My friend? Me. The beauty all around us, all life. Echo. All life? Me. From unseen with the naked eye! Echo. Naked eye? Me. A microscope opens up a new world. Echo. Unfurled? Me. Layers peeled back microbes seen. Echo. Microbe scene. Me. Could be first time recorded Echo. Recorded? Me. I'd like to say evolution rules! Echo. Evolution rules? Me. Once a fact but we have become fools Echo. Fools? Me. Extant life dying off fast! Echo. Off fast. Me. There are thoughts on how long we'll last. Echo. You'll last? Me. Pollution decimating habitats! Echo. Your habits? Me. Human habits overtaking nature! Echo. Human nature? Me. Long lost to things unnatural, hate and war! Echo. Hate, you sure? Me. Countries building fences! Echo. Defences? Me. Against a better way of life for some. Echo. For some? Me. New life will be the only way. Echo. The only way? Me. For sure, new life in abeyance Echo. A chance? Me. We'll not be around to see it ratified. Echo. Rats alive? Me. No, life as we know it won't survive. Echo. You alive? Me. No, these words I wrote before we all died! Echo. All died Me. New life, our future, we, ourselves denied! Echo. H e l l o, h e l l o, h e l l o... New form to Poetry Soup!
