Forced “progress’” pace, accelerating years <br />Race onwards, spiral with increasing speed, <br />Each chasing each proclaiming global need, <br />Exhorting freedom shatter terror's tears, <br />Enjoying well earned triumph. Changing gears <br />Now merge and surge impelled by subprime greed. <br />To tipping point for health, to which succeed <br />Epidemics global. Each man fears <br />Rising floods as arctic ice-cap nears <br />Precocious end. Beliefs begin to bleed, <br />Regions suffer climatic threats which feed <br />Insider dealing, trust, bear disappears. <br />Seek Eden far from mortgaged madding crowd, <br />Enjoy simplicity with heart unbowed... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />15 November 1991 revised 27 August 2007<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/f-r-ee-enterprise-acrostic-sonnet/
