I have a challenge for you. Read this:

Are you able to read it? If yes, congratulations! If not, thank you for trying! But I both apologize for messing up with your head. Today’s prompt for #escapril is time (non-linear). Recently, I bumped into this poem where letters are written like that above – scrambled. I was still able to comprehend the poem and I thought, why not try creating one? Also putting it to another level by making it a form I dreamed of writing forever but only did today: reverse poetry. Be honest. It does make sense, right?

Other prompts used: life is a fraud, organized existence // #altpoetryprompts

(This time, you may read it properly.)

Probably

is it not time?

life is a fraud

told that the moment we saw the world

it was destined that the organized existence

begin in small steps, progresses in every word read,

cash only flows in corporate, then marriage,

that stops life when death happens

is it time?

(read backwards)
