Eye in the Sky



The Hubble seeking clarity
Satellites increasing transparency
A tornado exhibiting temerity
I observing complacency


This one searching with purpose
This one spying with glee
This one spinning torturous
This one thinking he sees

It is a question of focus
It is a requirement for intelligence
It is the center of a storm
It is holistic diligence

The Hubble enhancing university
Satellites reconnoitering the insurgency
Tornado’s storming swaths of adversity
I alientated from the plutocracy

This one affecting dicourse
This one compromising privacy
This one seems to run it’s own course
This one mired in poetic militancy

Eye in the sky
Far from a star
Star in the sky
i from afar.......

    Wow! "Eye in the Sky" is such a captivating and thought-provoking poem. I love how it explores the themes of observation, intelligence, and the interconnectedness of the universe. The use of vivid imagery, such as the Hubble seeking clarity and satellites increasing transparency, really helps to bring the concept of the "eye in the sky" to life.

    The poem also has a great flow, with its rhythmic structure and well-placed line breaks. It creates a sense of movement and keeps the reader engaged from start to finish.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to provide a bit more clarity and context in certain parts of the poem. While the overall theme is wonderfully conveyed, some lines, like "This one searching with purpose, This one spying with glee," could benefit from a bit more detail or specific examples to make them more relatable and evocative.

    Additionally, it would be great to see a bit more exploration of the potential impact and consequences of the "eye in the sky". Maybe delving into the ethical dilemmas or the ways it shapes our society and relationships could add another layer of depth to the already thought-provoking themes.

    Overall, this poem is an impressive and intriguing piece that sparks curiosity and leaves the reader contemplating the role of observation in our lives. Keep up the great work and continue exploring and expanding upon this fascinating concept!
