He wanted to be a pious sort of dude
Only he didn’t feel like he was good at it
Living life as best as he could by respecting others
Yearning that they would just do the same

Structure (an acrostic poem)
Steel girders littered the broken skyline
That the wind howled through
Reaching for her shotgun, Lily watched for the Others
Until she was locked away in her hidey-hole
Couldn’t be too careful ever since the Others had landed
The war for Earth had been devastating to both sides until the Truce
Under that, no new Other could come planetside
Relying on those already here to finish the job without destroying what was left of the planet
Except now no one knew who was winning anymore
Cell (an acrostic poem)
Corruption pulsed within his veins energizing his desire to do wrong
Extracting money from the misery and oppression around him
Leaving him to live a life of luxury built upon the pain of others
Losing his soul bit by bit behind the bars of inhumanity
Yarn (an acrostic poem)
Yearning to wear soft cashmere sweaters
Asking others to make them for me seems silly since I could make one
Reaching for my knitting needles I start my first stitch
Now after five hours, and not getting past stitch three, I pick up the phone and call…
Grade (an acrostic poem)

Giving worth to mastery of knowledge
Receiving a letter to honor that feat
Allows the recipient to show others their level of competence of the subject
Despite lack of proof otherwise
Expecting you to accept their expertise
Kind (an acrostic poem)
Know deep down that it is okay to fail sometimes
It will happen, and all you can do is pick yourself up and go on
Need help doing so? Ask for it. No one is so good they don’t need help
Don’t beat yourself up about it, and share that same grace with others
Together (an acrostic poem)
There is so much you can’t do by yourself
Others are needed to make it happen
Getting your tribe on board might not be easy
Everyone might have different opinions or a different way to do it
That’s when you need to realize we are all in this
Here is where we need to work extra hard listening and not attacking
Enabling the collective to try and fail as we look towards success
Realizing this is why in these tough times we need to stick…

Truth (an acrostic poem)
They were so worried about all the lies
Reading through forum after forum to authenticate facts
Until their eyes crossed with information overload
That was when they discovered a fact that superseded all others
How few people actually really cared

Speak (an acrostic poem)
Send your voice out into the world
Preach the truths that are on your heart
Embrace the things that make you, you
All I ask is that you let others take the floor
Know that their words need to be heard as well
