None (a nonet)

In the launch of creation there were
Myriads of variant dreams.
As mankind wove their mind's eye
Into safe harmony,
Diversity left;
Ideas fled
Away; then
There were
None.

Interesting. I've never read a nonet before.

Thank you, sky. It is 9 lines with 9 syllables in line one and counting syllables down to one in line 9

Thanks, Snow. The priniciple is similar to Orwell's Newspeak in 1984. Unfortunately, sometimes I fear it is truer than we would like to admit.
