Acrostonym (Insane challange!)

An acrostonym is what I'm calling my new invention. It's an acrostic poem (but the words DO NOT have to be aligned verticaly) where the first letter of everyword in the poem spells a sentence/phrase and the first letter of every word in that sentence/phrase spelles a word. If you are confused (and even if you're not) I sugest checking out my latest poem "WAR" for an example. There is even some advice on how to write one in the comments. Good luck, have fun. And please put what the sentence is and what the word is, in your comments. And one more thing. It doesn't have to boild down to only a 3 letter word in the end like "war", a longer word will add difficilty and may help sway my judging.

    you were correct, this is one tough contest, halfway done with it. I was reading the other entries and I think their not on the right track. Their first word doesn't break down. Like yours was WAR. i sure hope you don't end this contest early, or cancel it for lack of entries for I have so many hours into it already. Will finish in a day or two. thanks for making my brain want to explode.lol

      Yup, just read the first two entries and you're right about them falling short of the idea. Was I being unclear in my instructions? You see, to understand, so it couldnt've been too confusing.
