Anti-Cyclone

Missing image

  

Rising waters.  Few escape Eye’s aim.
Energies mischannelled, modern man,
Victim of needs perceived, no longer can
Offer himself enlightenment. He’ll blame
Life’s past pollution, - thoughtless, partial claim.
Vice muzzles virtue, leaves truth also-ran.
Is Time God’s hook to dangle puppet fan,
Nature a two edged sword ? Greed feeds shame's flame,
Growth self-destructive's heedless phantom fame.
Cul-de-sac clima[c]tic ru[i]ns, - no plan
Yet clothes starvation.  Few with insight scan
CLONEd tornadoes... Hurry_can play games,
SPIn flash flood wave from some predestined scheme
Now punishing abuse of Earth’s demesne ...

    Oh, I love the visual aspect of this so much. It's a wonderful acrostic =)

    This is definitely deep in thought about what this sin has caused upon the human race. I liked that global feel of hopelessness that reproduces itself with each new cycle. Not bad, but well I think you have distanced yourself from the image, which is a part of the prompt.

    The words offer much; both in metaphor
    and dual meanings. Perspective is given
    to destruction at the hands of greed and
    the cycles of "rebirth" that are born more
    empty with each generation that passes.
    I did find the images on top of the background
    too much...
    Distractions that do not do your words justice.
    The form is executed well and offer solid thought.

    Amazing work, my Friend. Such a cornucopia of intellectualism, of creation, of sacred breaths strewn across this page, dear Scribe. Wanda
