Stop! Hark, fool

I will show you the way

Look how tall the towers

Eradicate the rebels—traitors—quick!

No! The towers are fallen!

Ceasefire! Attack!

Endure... endure... endure...

    Kind of an intense, aggressive acrostic poem. I have been reading a lot of entries to learn about acrostic poetry. This is different!! Nicely Done!!
