Panicked people pour into the streets pushing past each other; they’re powerless Against the awful atrocity unleashed by unknown armed assailants. Normalcy has fled; so many in the debris are left lying dead! Disarray, destruction, distress and doom! On screens around the world we see Escapees emerging wounded from rubble. From everywhere, we keep watching Madness made manifest by malcontents in the mountains of mutilated bodies. Obscene and odious terrorism, now overflowing in the land - Never before in my own lifetime has nefariousness felt so omnipresent, nor Immoral acts so incessant and innumerable! Ugly and ubiquitous, these evil deeds could be humanity’s undoing. More noble souls are needed, else we become *All Devil’s Land! Aug, 1, 2016 for John Hamilton's Pandemonium Poetry Contest Oops, I had a typo on last line; hope I caught it in time!! *All Devil’s land is the literal translation of Pandemonium

Sodom and Gomohrah! - I don't know the spelling. We seem to be heading in this direction, and, in fact, may have reached it. The balance is leaning toward evil. Love, daver

This is a powerful depiction of, sadly, our world today.I love the way you did each line also. I don't want to be nitpicky, BUT. :) You ended with an n. Sooo, I'm sure you will correct this with your normal aplomb. :) Peace and Prayers and positive energy your way.

Unlike mine, this is exactly what John is looking for. I knew that when I posted, but accepted what my muse came up with. Here you have all the ingredients and evidence of a winning Acrostic - well done! CayCay

A pandemonium indeed, one which is filling our mi ds with fear, our hearts with doubt, and our soul,hopefully will not be taken by anger and hatred, cuz its so difficult not to at times... But I pray to God, to be able to live in peace with myself..Pandemonium of Hell indeed.

Super alliteration, Andrea. Really like the message and content of this write. Like you, I'm disgusted with the media and the debauchery in the middle east.
