Frenetic thoughts
Roil inside
Upturning my world
Slicing my peace
To thoughtless shreds
Ragged and
Alien
Trite and
Endlessly, hopelessly
Defeated

Altruistic desires
Needlessly discarded
Giving way to
Rapacious
Yearnings

Hedonism's slave
Unbecoming of love
Rejected by his clan
Tossed by the wayside



Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
JP

Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.

Thanks all...

What's an acrostic BTW?

An interesting read, I enjoyed!
