2425. Experiment with format

If I put the previous in the form of a poem,
does it help or get in the way?

======

Market dominance reduced society
 to economics and undermined - etiolated -
politics
making market and those who control it
the main decision making
institution of society.
The result is exploitation
of land and people
killing the environment. 

To the extent
that economics is contained
within the  market it has no leverage
to break apart the market
and get back

to a balance with politics.

Poetry would be good. Expresses your thoughts that rhyme!

Doesn't help. Sorta gets it the way. Perhaps less so if you put etoliated in parens or em-dashes or drop it altogether. (What does it add?) A worthy experiment though.
