I was originally going to use my own text for reverse Graffiti contest but then realized it had to be the text given. I am thinking you purposefully did your own text and this is not for the contest. It looks really cool.

remember use only one form; EITHER the layout of your choice, O R the single line (a sentence or sentences like prose). N. O. T. both!

That is why I'm not entering the contest. I felt creative with this form and perfect for political rants! Thanks, Andrea ~

This is so magical dear Anaya. The contour of the entire poem is strong enough with the component, each and every syllable is emphasizing the subject. Wish you a blessed day ahead

Powerful as always dear Anaya, your empathetic mind and soul can be felt through your well woven words! Especially as you mentioned children and so much more, reality we always been seeing for so long! Sadly.youv captured all that very well here. Felt this one! Especially the ending! So strong! Soul hitting! Pleasure always reading your work

Thank you, Ink. I have added a few words to help recognize the 'speaker' of the house! He is the one who introduces the bills to the house of representatives before they continue to the senate, very important! Because of him; [[[[ There will be AID to the three Countries mentioned in my "Speaker" this means the children who are starving shall get aid, now! Yay! Ukraine's aid will help them to fight off Russian aggression! Yay! Last but not least Taiwan to defend themselves from Chinese aggression! ]]]]]] ;)

Got it! I find this form perfect for my Political Rants, Suzette

BTW I think you meant "NFC" (not for contest). It is heartening to see poets using my contests as writing prompts. :)

Glad you enjoyed, Suzette. I used both form displays, it's from the text of "Speaker" poem before this. I understand reverse graffiti has nothing to do with spray paint, I couldn't resist!
