Ganges drying mud
Armed hungry thirsty tide
Self-Grandiose hang dead
Money-ed bunkered islands
Generations despair, lost

Inspired by my poem 'BORN SCREAMING...' which succinctly weaved a complex story around 1950’s baby boom survivors. It’s pace, detail and depth coming from the listing parallel structures, alliteration and then the patterning in the three linked adjectives (e.g. armed-hungry-thirsty) in the last lines of the final two stanzas.
