Notes About The Poem

Exert Fear Genteel

I don't fathom how love could ever hurt.
ECHO - Exert
What is simple in this lysergic exosphere?
ECHO - Fear
Can I be mentally ill or as vicious as an eel?
ECHO - Genteel
Why man is cursed by his fellow man
ECHO - Clan
Can I find solace in profound emptiness?
ECHO - Unfriendliness
what is this mysterious precipitation?
ECHO - Nation
Do you live where noise can be heard?
ECHO - Misheard
Can you silently pull from the cloud?
ECHO - Loud
What is the right of the powerful?
ECHO - Fearful
