Eric Boddie Poet Acrostic

S O S

"s.o.s."
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Sin only shuns
Satan owns society
Stress owns success
Success offers selfishness
Selfishness outshines sight
Sight outweighs spite
Something overwhelms solidarity
Serenity only succeeds
Streaks only sustain
Simplify our situations
Sheep only sleep
Stand only strong
Sacrifice outweighs sovereignty
Supplies omit savoring
Semantics over syntax
Salvation obtains survival

Adam Kinsley February 9, 2018 at 8:52 AM Unfortunately, many societies judge 'success' as monetary gain or political power...and so, this is true (as you said): Satan owns society. Eric Boddie July 2, 2020 at 1:09 AM thank you adam....i just try to tell the truth....
