Notes About The Poem

World events leading to pandemonium, then paradise follows..

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

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

Well done acrostic, John. It is a crazy world out there, and you describe some of the motives, hatred and well, pandemonium, out there~
