Maelstrom (poem)

[pigshitpoet]

Maelstrom, gail storm, evil baal-strom
Demon wind stirring the sky storm
Artificial intelligence thinks itself wise storm
Storm chaser, rage, death and life storm
Turning up turf and churning round
The calm in the eye of the storm
Invasions push at the gates
Charging through space
below human race
Thar she blows!
Storm ~pspBlew the recycles all

Brings to mind the Poe story Maelstrom. Or something akin to it. I think that was the actual title.

mind the poe

or something akin to it
mind storm, no doubt

Harry Clarke's 1919 illustration for "A Descent into the Maelström" by Author Edgar Allan Poe

I looked dizzily, and beheld a wide expanse of ocean, whose waters wore so inky a hue as to bring at once to my mind the Nubian geographer's account of the Mare Tenebrarum. A panorama more deplorably desolate no human imagination can conceive. To the right and left, as far as the eye could reach, there lay outstretched, like ramparts of the world, lines of horridly black and beetling cliff, whose character of gloom was but the more forcibly illustrated by the surf which reared high up against its white and ghastly crest, howling and shrieking forever.

" The ways of God in Nature, as in Providence, are not as our ways ;
nor are the models that we frame any way commensurate to the vastness,
profundity, and unsearchableness of His works, which have a depth in them
greater than the well of Democritus. " -Joseph Glanville
