Slowly, we drown in noise devoid of a signal
Inundated by inanities, we ignore genuine wisdom
Lost in loud information, terribly trivial
Entertained and amused, allergic to tedium
Never knowing serene peace, convivial
Confused, distracted crowds make one ache for freedom
Eschew the flood ethereal; find real, living material

An alliterative triumph! Great acrostic and challenge entry, D.J.!
Oooo, I learned a new word from you today, convivial! Loved your Acrostic!
I'm with Cindy. That last line hits the core.
A profound sense of disillusionment with modern media and communication. Love it! 💌
Love, love, love this acrostic poem on silence. "Eschew the flood ethereal; find real, living material"....is an amazing poetic line.
