Mass of people crossing the road
Grey clouds, trenches built, river flowed
Rejecting what we’ve done to earth
Pollution, suffering and birth
Killing nature purely for profit not regal
Not thinking of the future and mass of people
Forgive us for what we have done
Hatred and war not so much fun
Search for the next generation
Different colours of the nation
A lot of important issues need to discuss
For being irresponsible please forgive us*

The Wrapped Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of 2 or more stanzas of 6 lines each; Meter: 8,8,8,8,12,12 and Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b,c,c.
Refrain rule: In each stanza the first 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) in the first line must be the last 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) at the end of the last line. This is what wraps each stanza with a repeated refrain …thus, the Wrapped Refrain.

Howdy, Your Wrapped Refrain poem was very thought provoking and deep. Kind of sad really. I love that you shared the stanza, meter, and rhyme info. I am just breezing through from A2Z .
Cheers,
Barbie

“Hatred and war not so much fun” should be on all billboards in the world. If the right energy flows, it might shake up the politicians too.
Thanks for joining in, Lee!
