A comment on "The Inverted Pyramid"

     A bit of social observation and/or poetry should be strong enough to stand on it's own when you hear it, but I prefer to present it to a reader rather than a listener.  In this way, I can influence them with how it looks, as well as how it sounds.  The visual form also defines and enhances the rhythm that the writer sees for that piece.  With this poem, the physical appearance emphasizes the inherent instability of an inverted pyramid in the social model.
