Apocalyptic Rituals

the nuclear snakes
   slither into disaster
warheads waiting 
   in the dithering wings

~~~!~~~X~~~#~~~>>>

light explodes
darkness erupts
fiery projectiles 
  obliterate without mercy

<<<~~~#~~~X~~~!~~~

the reptilian warlords
  fumble through flames
apocalypse waiting
  amid withering declarations
