Renew in Truth (Acrostic)

 

Like something so powerful,
Overcoming great odds, renewing minds
Visions of how things can be, when we clear debris
Even though sometimes, all seems lost

If we can look at the bigger picture, it's worth the cost
Since it seems complacent lives are majority

That brokenness is rising in the hearts and lives of people
How much longer will this be?
Examples seem to be set just for the pride of men to say "Hey look at me!"

Maybe it's just me
Or can love and living life restore an abandoned truth
Vacating our lives and being renewed with new ones
Everyday, not the same, always changing
Moment by moment, we seek to want more and crave for what it calls for
Every soul with any sort of gaping hole
Needs this
Truth

    Holy Pancakes!

    Yes! This is an acrostic, well done for sure!

    Your vocabulary is wonderful and you used proper punctuation...you made a point and acctually had a point to make. so many times I see acrostics that just aren't quite what I like in acrostics.

    Love is most certainly the movment and YOU made it quite clear in this piece great job, really.

    well done, and thanks for entering,
    -Dusty-

    "If we can look at the bigger picture, it's worth the cost"~~~~~A good point to bring up.

    for your first acrostic this is really well done about the need for love

    Every soul with any sort of gaping hole
    Needs this
    Truth

    and if every soul found it we would have world peace so i hope they all do.

    very well penned, flow rocked, rhyme rocked

    So
    Well
    Evolved
    Expressive

    I still remember my first acrostic! This is absolutely fantastic! Nice message, well written out, a great message in the acrostic. I think of acrostics as subliminal messages. Good luck in the contest, my friend

    Hmm well technically, you did the acrostic correctly. As a poem though,I am not sure I fully comprehend the meaning.

    Wow, this write didnt even seem like an acrostic. Your message is powerful and I really like the flow, I must say I admire your work.
    P.S. How do you make things italic and bold?
