‘He viewed the world with perfect form’ by Alec Ream

.

He viewed the world with perfect form
But upside down, not as the norm
He lifted those who’d been down – trod
And doing so, he followed God

.

.

Alec Ream is a writer living in Virginia. His poetic work and creative fiction have been widely published. A member of the Demosthenian Literary Society at UGA, he wrote on Lookout Mountain, and continued to write, lecture and work for Delta Kappa Epsilon HQ. He was first published reading to the pledge class of Michigan DKE, in Ann Arbor in 2008. Recently, his poem Green Fire was read at the Washington Literary Society & Debating Union at UVA.
