Omni Quandary

Global community

 

 

 

Omni Quandary

Question marks punctuate language within present global sentences.

Universal quotes repeat common qualms and quests as if one diary

remembered the journey of all who live in the now and yet to be

 

One compound planet diagramed and defined via ecology, poverty,

insecurity, profitability and natural destiny. Soil, water and air to

share, measured by the promise of progress to protect earth’s gifts

 

Corporate objectives connect cultures with economic interdependence

intertwining humanity using common communications of commerce.

Conversations motivated mainly by marketing and merchandising

 

Media morality manipulates multitudes in echoing monetary mantra

Tomorrow’s dawn dims when viewed through disposable contact lenses

Yesterday’s toll is paid today from essentials of life in an uncertain future

Great use of language in this description of the global community. The promises to protect earth's gifts seems to be only given so that the resources can be stolen with a fight. I am tired of corporations running our government and the media spreading stories to manipulate our fears. I agree we have an uncertain future ahead of us. Wonderful writing to make me think.

This is an academic thesis, in global issues, as well as literature. Thank you for pointing it out.

'natural destiny'...

i think about this and ask, really?
this is a wonderful write with much insight.
i like the language used and it sends a strong message.
It reads smooth and also leaves questions; especially for me.

This could also be debate provoking.
Nice one and I can see why it won an award.

Congrats on your winning poem!

I had to run through this twice, but the language is uniform. The meaning is clear and the summary statement that we pay today and continue too pay into the future for yesterday's destruction of the planet hits home.

When will the destruction end? Not in our lifetime. When will it slow down? It must soon. The media involvement in the corporate fiasco is also clear. And yes it has accelerated as we've shrunk the planet with technology and travel innovations.

Great write. Glad I took the time.

Peace and Love,
