Anniversary Slam

Dropping Lines

Aphotic, acrostic, apocalyptic dive

never knowing in my darkness if I will survive

now is the deepest, swimming toward the light

Instinct spills, words pop, cryptic maybe right

Venomous, virtuous, hold your breath or don't

Enthusiastic, Enraged, make it or you won't

Radical, mayhem, pissing off your guts

Say, SLAM it, damn it, I'm going for the ruck

Appease you, die trying or panic in despair

Real stuff, had enough, I'm floating to gasp air

Yes to me is a no, no is just a guess.

Acrostic

    Great rhythm, Rock. It felt ambiguous, like a pendulum swinging between opposing views.
