It Is Time

Time to act—act for life Life needs help—help us fight Fight the evil—evil that breeds Breads the weak—weak we are Are we used—used to far Far we go—go with speed Speed to save—save us now Now will bring—bring us hope Hope is caring—caring for all All are equal—equal as one One is free—free to be Be your self—self you believe Believe in all—all have respect Respect each other—other are equal Equal as Mother Nature—Mother Nature is life

So, basically CHAIN VERSE. I don't want to rain on your parade, but this poetic form is as old as mankind :-) CHAIN VERSE A descendant of Ancient Greek echo verse, chain verse uses the same closing word or syllable from one line to open the next line. Chain verse is one of the most obscure forms for which any written evidence is available. The medieval form likely was a spoken-word vehicle used to communicate news and tidings in France. Its catchiness and pleasing rhythm to the ear help explain why it did not survive the Middle Ages and early post-Renaissance as a written form.
