Notes About The Poem
I thought I would give this challenge a try. I know it may not have a good a flow nor make sense. Using all of these words were definitely a challenge because we don't use all these words at once. Anyway I enjoyed the challenge: -) Alexis

Word Challenge

Why have we ran from morality
By living in such brutality  
We’ve lost touch with our humanity
And soon we will lose our vitality 
By embracing a hateful mentality 
Living like this is a definite fatality 
Our lifestyles have become a mundanity 
No longer a positive force in our urbanity 
And that alone is not a formality
We’re wayward souls, and that's a reality
Our words are often vile profanity 
The things we say are inanity,
And the end result we always be a volcanity 
Not to mention living this way is pure insanity

A righteous write, Alexis. It made absolute sense. I thought you even handled the one word that trips up a lot of people ... urbanity. Very creative structure this poem is. Kudos to you. A 7 for sheer moxie to even do a poem like this. Love and peace to you.

What do you mean not make sense, this made perfect sense to me and is one of the best I have read so far using the words provided. Great job Alexis, and good luck in the contest though I don't think you will need any luck, this looks like a winner to me.
