Maelstrom

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Sep 07, 2022 

Maelstrom.
Accelerating.
Global
change.
Faster
it spins.
Breaking
apart.
Exponential.
Technological
explosion,
transformation.
What
once was,
fading.
Hard
to keep
up.
Understand.
Speeding.
Changing.
Unrelenting
blur.
Cleaving
thoughts.
Fractured
minds.
Losing
perspective,
control.
Pace
relentless.
Past
simple,
quaint.
Future
maelstrom.
Overwhelming.
Unimaginable,
just over
the
horizon.

Do you believe that at this maddening pace that our world is current revolving in will result in a future maelstrom that is overwhelming, unimaginable just over the horizon? Yes you do but so do I! Very well written very well done.
