Tell me what I’m doing wrong, for it is your
Right, I need all the wisdom, from you that
Owns the fight, for you are the leaders, no
Lies to make distortion, you are not
Lewd bleeders, the adverts of abortion, so
Inspire what I do next, be my living guide, I’ll
Note all you say, to cancel suicide, thus, let us be
Good friends, but not face to face, as you are so busy, clearing up the place!

- Comment from author about the poem: It's been a fair while, since I've written one of my "rhyming acrostics", so I give you this one, entitled: "Trolling (An Acrostic)." An irritation, or yet another irritation of mine, regards to this "modern tech era", is that it would seem that "people" have the urge to broadcast everything! It's either someone filming, in order to" audit" a" heated situation", more "dire to the soul" scripted reality TV, the continuous "doom and gloom" news coverage; all over the world, outlining "immaculate choices" in running countries, more unimaginative remakes from Hollywood, or the cesspit array of channels, that call themselves social media pages, or "antisocial media" pages, as the case may be sometimes. This also, awakens yet, another gripe: everyone seems to be a critic! However, you can bet you bottom dollar/pound/whatever you use, that the majority of reviews won't be balanced arguments, which have been well researched, or even just a simple "bravo", but an expectant torrent of abuse, which has lead to some content users to either take a break, or even quit their channels for good. Or on an extreme level, such a relentless shitstorm of bullied, worded poison, has lead to some "weakened down characters" to end it all together!! So, as a response to the "moral invalidity" of both questionable content, and to "keyboard warriors" who just have to submit their vile opinions, I give you this "tongue in cheek" acrostic, that challenges the need for such a dire design, that comprises such a toxic internet culture! The cage banner picture represents an oxymoron: people may be free to choose to do anything they want, yet, in the matter of the web, they are caged like animals: either by, being micro-managing wardens in a "prison", enforcing an impossible set of terms and conditions, or creatives who are caged "convicts", unlawfully convicted by such a toxic culture, whereas they just wanted to innocently leave their mark on the world. As you can see, the word TROLLING down the side is in red, to signify the danger of such corrosive commentary! To all malicious trolls: Many stars, are Milky Way, a family that does shine, yet, you choose, to be decay that powers every crime!! I hope that you enjoy and take something from this rhyming acrostic, malicious trolls beware, and as always, please do stay safe in the madness everyone!

A lovely but a bit sardonic and dark acrostic with good rhyme. Nicely done
Thanks for the read and for your short and sweet comment sorenbarrett, it is very much appreciated.
However the woeful wickedness of the web, that is sometimes demonically displayed, is not appreciated at all!
I hope that all is well!
You are most welcome
Fine acrostic Ben showing that there are so many depraved people out there.
Andy
Thanks for the read and for your kind words Andy, they are very much appreciated, and yes, unfortunately, the poisonous pantomime, is still allowed to be staged!
I hope that all is well.
