Individual,
Same, idiosyncratic,
Thinks thoughts equal to treason.
Ordinary fool--
Beat by man independent.
Epistimology lives.

I like this piece. Although it's short, each words seems to be chosen for maximum effect - there's no uneeded words just added for padding. Great work.

Powerful words filled with great strength. Imagery is extrodinary. You have brought man to light...always second guessing, always the fool. Well done. I loved this and will be back.

Wonderful use of vocabulary. It fits so well with the poem, rather than using simpler words. Thanks for taking my challenge.

I did specifically say that the acrostic had to be two three-letter words, however, I think I'm going to let this one go because the syllable count is perfect and it is an acrostic.

Not to quibble over silly details made irrelevant by your decision to allow the work, but just for a moment I would like to quibble over silly details made irrelevant by your decision to allow the work.
The only reference to the "two-word" title issue in your contest is when you break it down "into simpler terms", I can only assume for people who are incapable of utilizing wikipedia to look up the terms "Sedoka" and "Acrostic" as I did.
I figured you were trying to make it digestible to the masses, and not trying to limit legitimate artistic expression framed within the intent of the contest.
To be honest, I was wondering if you'd make an issue out of the three word title. So much about creativity is teaching your mind to develop new ideas inside (rather than out) of a constructed box.
I thought that sentiment might win out in the end... glad to see I was right.

P.S. - If you are interested, I also wrote a two word entry, but it is not nearly as good. It is on my author's page.
