Masquerade

Million marching meddlesome masks
Angry, advancing and arranging attacks
Stern, stealthy, stepping silently
Quarrelsome quartet questioning quietly
Unwitting unknowns united unaware
Efficiently expanding everywhere
Rushing relentlessly, releasing rage
Assaults avoided, assiduous age
Defense determined, disguises dissipate
Evils eradicated, effigies evaporate

I decided to try my hand at an acrostic alliteration, just to see how hard it is, and just for kicks, I used the same word Michael did   I hope its somewhat coherent

Well I don't think I saw Michael's, but I applaud you! This is very well done.
I'm not so good with those.

Well done my friend.  The most intriguing thin to me in reading this was your last line. I had originally penned the line:

"Evil eradicated evermore"

I couldn't make it fit though.  Guess my muse truly flew off in your direction.  Good job.

Good job on the acrostic alliteration, Mistik.
