ARMAGEDDON Poem by David Sparenberg

 

“A whole civilization will die tonight.”
President Donald J. Trump *

The howling of hatred
And the madness of contagious war
Spreads over the earth.
In heaven
The wrath of God panics.
The Hour of Armageddon.

May a meteor
Crash into your privates.
May a volcano erupt
In the crater of your heart.
May the fiery fall of Lucifer
Forever ending in ashes
Land on your face, melting
The jelly of your eyes.

We have become
In our dunce caps of stupidity
Destroyer of world.

A black sun lurks
-a leering death’s head metal-
Behind the mushroom
Clouds of war.
The Minute of Armageddon.

*Of course PONTUS was bluffing, the same way Putin bluffed with the threat of nuclear war over Ukraine. But such statements by leaders with access to nuclear arsenals are expressions of the propaganda of global terrorism. It is past due time for Earth to be made a Nuclear Free Zone and the planet rendered free of tyrants and political mass murderers. No more “deals” with business as usual. Earth’s human population needs a new Global Bill of Rights. Better to weave the impossible dream into the fabric of possibilities than to continue planning the nightmare of annihilation. No one in political office should ever again menace the citizens of creation by saying, “A whole civilization will die tonight.” And the joker who spoke those words—one humorless clown in the international circus ofnihilism and power—has the nuclear codes in his suit pocket.
