I'm here to share with you my thoughts,
untie some knots;
I try to learn
how gold to earn.
I'm thrilled by this advanced technique,
evade critique
when it's on me;
I'm proud, you see.
I know I have to write this form,
It has its charm,
made me reflect;
please don't reject.

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
C-ircumvent the conflict,
A-void the nonsense strife;
M-ake a sign of peace,
I-nstead of war in life.
L-eave the chaos behind,
L-etting the hate fade away;
E-arly twenty-ninth of June, make it a lovely day.
V-ictory is truly attained,
E-scaping from animosity;
L-ove eventually prevails,
A-nger yields to harmony.
S-eek the open line,
Q-uest for the telephone;
U-se the friendly talk,
E-vade the conflict
Z-one.
M-ove and evade the danger zone,
A-nticipate the threat;
E-arly morn thirteenth of May, righteous path is set.
V-icious lies and tricks
E-ndanger your hope and faith;
L-et the truth remain,
A-s you wait for the day so great.
S-afeguard your belief,
Q-uiver makes you moan;
U-se the message of God,
E-vade the danger
Z-one.
There will come a time when I will take
One blinding leap before I wake.
Into the darkness that one's fair soul evade,
Where the darkest deeds of life are made.
So few shall notice the darkness here,
for such knowledge is never near.
For they will be so far into their fear you see,
That they never recognize the light that is me.
A day will come full of evils, and means.
Turning the world into something that should never be seen.
No love shall follow what we all know
Is the one emotion that can only be so low.
So before I take this jump today,
Maybe you should've listened to what I had to say.
For when the you keep your true self in the thick, black shade.
All be waiting for you all in the darkness evade.
