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"
