Acrostic poem generator

The Acrostic beat poem generator (via) will take any word you give it and use its letters as the starting letter for each line. The results are oftentimes silly, and sometimes uncanny.

Here's one it made for me:

Born unto themselves

Everything's helter-skelter

Not from the years, not from the use

Gravity's got my bones

Hanging up, I wanted to cry

And "countdown to extinction"

Zero in on you

It's time to be immortal, 'cause heroes never die

And another:

Tangled abstract fallacy

Roaring through my head

Up on my soapbox, a leader

Magic if you please, bring him to his knees

Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase

This is almost as good as Trump-predicting Nostradamus quatrains.
