Gomorrah Toys

Military maneuvers, conducted by starship troopers, make a Lot of king Chedorlaomer noise Earhole space penetrated by the Pentagon puffing pace ... stealth sound of smoke signals Warning drumbeat signs of an incoming, deadly drone invasion Attack helicopters hover over tempting topography targets ~ reservoirs of rich resources They make a lot of Pharaoh Necho noise Dropping death ... nerve gas dispersal on a civilian deploy Gun ship ordnance pump a piercing armor projectile ahoy Hell bells ringing: An aerial, Aqua Allegiant alert, of approaching submarine hurt Underwater assault — Amphibious waves alarmingly coming ashore General populace panic caused by camouflaged carrion boys Pilot hawks playing with their Gomorrah toys Rapidly raining napalm hellfire down, razing entire cities, villages and towns Looming apocalyptic annihilation tis on an armistice crawl Calculated cease-fire declarations are touted in an executive toilet stall Piffling paltry peace negotiations, conducted by rabid, Rabshakeh ambassadors for shah Sennacherib, king of Assyria ... Notice the hot, mushrooming hysteria Terror bled refugees living on a fled existence Pre-empt predators from planet Furya, scurrilous scoffers wishing them good riddance Sinematic Chronicles of Riddick made mortar shell real; crematoria Cinder Fellas, waiting for the Cryptonite green light, are circling ice clouds for the kill Darth Vader dark warlords of illusion sure do make a lot of loud king Nebuchadnezzar noise Nuclear family of bald eagles, with iron claws, missile snatch their Babylonian spoils Reigning economical embargo liquid nitrogen down, freezing the assets of entire cities, villages and towns Earhole space penetrated by that war drumbeat pound Nuclear arms race ... watery warning signals hydrogen abound Armageddon artillery air strikes, orchestrated by Luffwaffe lad conductors, they do make a lot of surefire Nero Caesar noise Global panic pandemic caused by cobalt camouflaged, uranium pestilence plague carrier boys Marine pilots joyriding atop their Gomorrah toys Pharaoh Khan and Czar Caesar Iron-copper evil genie-ology spewing toxic pox pollutant war noise — tainted echoes into the ether Bad seed boys rage given to raise bad deed boys Herod begat Hitler ... Cursed caesium lips: Supersonic, spit-spiked cheek chariots, mouth another wickedly evil, mass murder ploy Using Weapons of Mass Destruction, they enjoy Marine Pilates love hand washing innocent blood off their ghastly, Gomorrah toys

Wow, powerful; you see what so many do not see; oh but, if they could and realized what a nightmare we're all living, perhaps they'd wake up? I like the Gomorrah and Babylon metaphors. An artful piece of truth, sir.
