Reign of Anomie

Confused world, complex challenges, contracting earth, climate changes; conflicting cultures coalesce. Booms, bangs, shrills, shrapnels flood the air; blood clots in the street. Shredded homes float for sheltered peace: victims of greed that weathered the world in her wallows. Who dares pull back lust or freedom marchers? Who cares for the mammoth flotsam-- dregs of a fractured world that ripples under quakes and storms to an unknown? What a pursuit of freedom that leaves the world in rubbles--her future forlorn! When restraint relents, lust screams. Wilting, yet nations hail wealth, not weather; consumption or ruination? Impel moderation or hug implosion. Celestine S. Ikwuamaesi (Feb 24, 2018)
