Brian Davey Poet Acrostic

Hypocritical Humanity

Hypocritical, unethical, selfish, and unlearned
        Under developed use of our overstated minds
           Militant masochists tend to rule this world
              Antagonistic especially towards our own people
                 Narcissistic insight concerning the global scale
                    Intelligence is wasted instead of being shared
                       Tragedy encompasses us forever the witch hunt
                          Yesterday's life lessons are learned nowhere

John Michaels November 25, 2017 at 7:57 AM Insightful and thought-provoking, Brian! I see some parallels in your approach to that of my more politically-slanted poems. Congrats on your win!
