P andemic parasites of man have spread
A bandoned Angels the skies have shed
N ecromantic necrophiliacs playing with the dead
D emonic desires of witches and warlocks wed
E vil runs rapid in the wasteland of deception
M onuments crumble for the demons reception
O ppression overtakes the mild and the weak
N octurnal neverland of death does reek
I mmense immorals within the blink of an eye
U ltimate destruction till death do us die
M other of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Pandemonium-Acrostic - Poetry Contest
By John Hamilton
Bound by blame, broken by blight,
Scarred by a stolen satire,
nuzzling necrophiliacs within the night.
Tangled in torment, tied untamed,
blemished by the blasphemy,
of never speaking your name.
Shackled in sin, shredded sovereignty,
dealing death’s doses,
murdering you and me.
Cuffed with candor, calling our crimes,
to an impetuous enslavement,
tortured through time.
Set me free, to flee this fool’s game,
where we're always left wandering,
in this wasteland of shame.
