Farewell

A Tautogram

Fascist fiends foment fallacies,

Floods find footing.

Fools frolic for fame,

Fabulous flora flounders.

Faith feigned for fortune,

Fair forests forgotten.

Friends, families, forgo facts,

Fatal frosts foretold.

Foul fumes from factories,

Flowers finally fade.

Farewell.

    A very creative way to cover so many aspects and fields of social commentary. I had to look up "foment" because I was only use to seeing the more archaic definition and use of the term.
