Mind's Eye of the Storm
by Steven Humphrey
 
In time under morn we all sway with the rest
Bipeds in bleached cotton and contrasting vests
In bleak machinations, in transit in time
Stockpile fascination on which we may climb
To crest pointed weakness and peer down on peers
Atop paper mountains we surmount or fears
Still trailing the circle, the fun never ends
Set relative worth by ad hominem friends
Antiquity's waste and our own future's fears
Mind's eye of the storm shedding frustrated tears
 
The question mark floating above heads of Man
Spawns zealot elitists and murderous clans
"Free will" must amuse one with omniscient means
Who knows we're to blunder yet won't intervene
Competitive martyring, 'Absence-Divine'
Accepted as simply of higher design
A race that knows only of life to appease
We've cut off our feet to remain on our knees
Antiquity's waste and out own future's fears
Mind's eye of the storm shedding frustrated tears
 
Steven Humphrey is what happens when traditional form is bent to poetastrophe's angst-ridden whim.
