Pandemonium

P  Peace and dialogue are rejected
A  Anarchy with chaos breeds and
N  No-one is safe from the claws of fear
D  Demons with devilish or 'divine' intentions
E  Excrete their venom, make their motives clear
M  Milton gave us the word in Paradise Lost, an
O  Odious capital in the midst of Hell
N  Nearing beauty in its simple concept, but how to fight it?
I   I cannot tell.  There's
U  Unease and violence in the maelstrom, but while evil rubs its hands with glee
M  Maybe we who have no choice but to watch, can stand and say "We're here and free"
