That title's a mouthful. Anyway, this is deep? somewhat? I just read through all the chapters and tried to find one that doesn't scream "pretentious". Key word 'tried'. Also, 'read' is a loose term. So, grammar, spellings or anything of the sort might not be correct. edit: it's been 2-3 years and i opened this baby up again. but like pretentious? young me, if this was pretentious then we're meant to be. and as you can see, im writing this in lowercase. that's what i call, Growth.

After hundreds of centuries of brutal conflict, the peoples of the Earth have at last united in service of one sole God: a God of pity. He writhes in endless torment under untold miles of soil and stone, His only temporary respite in the empowerment of those who live in his image, those who live in oppression and despair. Mankind has now devoted its whole industrial might to that end, and through the alleviation of His agony, has unburdened itself from much of its own, finding itself in a world of astonishing prosperity - miles-high towers, clean - almost free - energy, and cars that regard one another as no more than gusts of wind. At long last, Utopia has been realized. This is the story of the man who doubted it.

Echoes and Isolation is a poetry compilation that mainly focuses around the themes of poverty, social isolation and mental illness. Although most of the poems here are rather dark in content with no upside, there are others which are contain traces of hope within their lines.

Whenever I feel like it, I like to write short poems. Now I'll publish them here. ^^
