Acronym

Listen carefully to this song;



The initial letter of the lyrics all make up the word FEAR (eg for every-man a religion. Interestingly, the lyrics are all quite metaphorical and seem to be messages about life or morals. The example suggests that beliefs are individual and because of that, indisputable. They could each be used as proverbs. This is one of my favourite songs because of it's uniqueness. Some of my favourite lines are:

> Free expression as revolution
> For each a road

Your task is to read the lyrics online, then choose your own four or five letter word to use as an acronym for metaphors or your own proverbs. You should choose a powerful word like 'free', 'love', 'hate' etc. You should have a dictionary close by to help choose words for each letter of your word and see if you can come up with interesting sentences. Hopefully, you'll find this task very rewarding when you come across a proverb that strikes a chord with you.

Remember, if you start your own blog and post online I will give some feedback and hopefully others will too.
