Emissions rise absolutely from factories
Consumption is rampant for we cannot be satiated
Lingering long-term effects foregone as we focus on the now
Idle chatter amongst this murder of ravens, atoning for sins
Painstakingly pursuing the holy trinity
Souls lost
Eternal blue world seemingly endless, we pray

Brilliant!!!!
“Lingering long-term effects foregone as we focus on the now” really liked this line Jazzy, as it flows nicely but also contrasts the short vs long-term thinking.
This is a sad sad poem.
This was so poignant. Loved your Acrostic!
Ahhhh man humans can be so ignorant. Remember the first Matrix movie when Smith compares humans to parasites? This poem reminded me of that
Now there's a good look at humanity, and a possible eclipse of our own making. Love this entry, Jazzy!
Fantastic!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️💕 Agree with Paul!!!
Another incredible piece for the challenge. Well done. Love it
