Brimstone Reign
Goodbye, *****Erectus!
Talking monkey with the rainforest tan
Bent knuckles scarred ...
low brow crouching,
and arched eyes wondering —
Looking at the bright yellow rock
dusk paper moon burning
Green banana hope
is swelter swagger of nuclear dawn man
Bad buy, *****Sapien!
Curious chimpanzee, ever tool tinkering
Tick-tock pages
of the Jungle Book clock
is mandrill turning
Loves the evol jokes
that a-peel knock knock
Dollar sign rope
has the greedy ape treehouse a-swinging
Every Donkey Kong thing
has a deposed king Bonzo canopy end
Bray for peace,
using cold metal of an uranium blend
Baboon voices a-bellowing
Hot off the guerilla press:
WW3 hurls came from a prompt send
Brimstone reign
is Apocalypse Now falling
Bald face lies: Hairless claim
of superior tech skin coconut thin
Grey matter descend
has a groping, monkey-shine grin
In the New Age of Stone vows,
idol hearts did bend
Specie extinction blame game
was of unknown orangutan origin
And the cave dwellers
won’t ever know the genome source code
To amino acid awaken
from the ash entropy Eternal Sleep mode
This poem was inspired by the talented Phil Capitano
powerful poem titled, "Nuclear Dawn"
from the brilliant poetry book, "Roses on the Moon"
