WHEN EVIL HAS WON- (An acrostic sonnet)

by Mephastophilis   Sep 20, 2004


When evil has won, so many will have been led astray
Horrific atrocities will be carried out because of hate
Ecocide from clear cutting, will be occurring each day
Nuclear weapons will only mean more slaying is fate
Eventually we will all become mutual, the media’s fools
Vile acts will happen daily so people will be apathetic
Ignorance will rule, the media will dictate what is “cool”
Long gone will be days when people are sympathetic
Hardly anyone ever finding that very special someone
And the state of the world dire, let by corrupt authorities
Shit happens will be a phrase thrown around by everyone
With self gain number one on peoples list of priorities
Oh and it seems, the end has only just begun
Now that I think about it, evil has already won.

    :) Yet another great write, I have to say, you write the best "poems about life" :) Everything that was written is so true, I have a friend (another poet on here) who I believe will love reading your poems, I'll tell him about you when I get the chance :) Take care.

    First I wanted to thank you for commenting on my poem :), and I agree w/ what you wrote. Secondly I wanted to say what a great poem this was! You have powerful words and I wish more people would understand that we need more love not more hatred in the world. But I doubt there will ever be a day when we all love. I do hope that evil does not win, even though it does seem to have won....Great poem 5/5

    Apart from the error in your syllable count which you have already picked up on, i liked it. I think it's very creative of you to try something new and combine these two forms. Maybe you could try it again sometime with 10 syllables per line, i would love to read it. A very important message. Well done!
