Delorean View



Flip the kill switch,
start the genocidal ignition
Hate is the fuel injected
into the lethal gas shark tank
Cull waters are on a
flux capacitor overflow
Anger accelerates the murderous rage glitch
Hydrogen fusion kaboom ~ Mushroom heat bloom 
tints the side window

DeLorean view
sits temporal pessimistic 
Mass graves asphalt attitude — 
Reverse gear evolution
is a back-to-the-future condition

Prophetic voices from the past
forewarned 
of apocalyptic events to come

Tragedy on the dark side horizon:
Red barons steer the cattle
into the path of the metal beast
Covetous bloodlust sparks the battle,
evil trying to get the stealth treadmark drop on the good

Flip the nuclear kill switch,
start the global homicide acceleration
Strangelove gives a drone missile kiss,
hawks preying on the doves
Terminator technology
be Stone Age moral philosophy
written on a Blu-sabertooth, blank DVD disc

New DeLorean view
sits temporal optimistic
Firmament final destination ... 
the future recedes
in a golden exhaust hue

I was really digging it up until the Strangelove line at which point I started REALLY digging it. Superb piece. Worthy a few thorough reads to be sure.
