John Hamilton Poet Acrostic

Pandemonium

Pandemonium


P aranoia proliferates among pretending believers
A nxious and terrified by extremist behaviours
N arcissisitic society of self obsessed materialists
D emand and devour all hedonistic offerings
E nveloping themselves in nationalistic fervor
M anifesting their opposition to a united world
O bedient only to their own selfish myopic concepts
N uclear war again raises ugly spectre on the horizon
I deologies clash like the Titans in battle, while
U nderlying hatred, animosity and xenophobia
M anoeuvre mankind masterfully to monumental misery

CayCay Godwin July 27, 2016 at 12:17 PM I don't think anyone could improve upon your well-written, deep Acrostic which you maneuvered masterfully! In truth, one would need more starting letters to list all negatives contributing to 'dark.' I'll give this a go, but just to contribute - I have no desire or thoughts to better what you have written. Can you enter your own? Kidding CayCay John Hamilton July 27, 2016 at 2:38 PM Thanks Cay Cay, no surprise to me but some entries are already better, I'm just average Joe poet. Thanks for your visit and encouragement. Look forward to yours!

Jesse Zerlaut July 27, 2016 at 1:35 AM I read your contest, came here to see your example and realized..I'd be hard pressed to do better. Great poem! John Hamilton July 27, 2016 at 8:17 AM Thanks Jesse, not so hard give it a try! Thanks for the visit!

Laura Leiser July 26, 2016 at 1:33 PM Well done acrostic, John. It is a crazy world out there, and you describe some of the motives, hatred and well, pandemonium, out there~ John Hamilton July 26, 2016 at 3:25 PM Thanks Laura, I think the word sums it up nicely, interesting to see what ideas come in the contest!

Walter T. Ashe July 7, 2016 at 9:31 PM I now have an entirely different viewpoint on the true nature of what Pandemonium is! A write to ponder John! Great!!! John Hamilton July 8, 2016 at 7:29 AM It's coming! but life will be better after it's all over!
