Violence is Not The Answer (Acrostic Poem)
V iolence is Not The Answer
I s seemingly conventional wisdom
O n the surface, it seems logical
L ove is all you need right?
E vidently, looking at humanity, not so
N eedful things are things you can't do without
C hances are you could survive without love
E ven if loneliness partly destroys
I solation is not always a bad thing
S olitude can be a positive
N ot many people agree with that
O nly love is the answer say, hippies
T rying to find love can be fraught
T his for many people is a fruitless search
H eroic but ultimately unsuccessful
E vidently, real love is very rare
A nd liars and con men abound
N eedful violent revenge plausible
S tab, slash and intimate swordplay
W age war never surrender
E veryone is culpable, every one guilty
R e-load and keep firing is the answer

There are always going to be those who take advantage of the goodness in others. Doesn't mean we should all be jackasses. Just means we need to be aware. Love is an answer but not everyone will "play fair" and that's a sad fact of life.
So many hugs, my friend, so so many :-)
