Rumor Shockwaves
Enriched hearsay disaster spread faster
than the raging radio talk heard —
Kindling of conspiracy flames
With howling winds of thermonuclear quickness,
the rumor shockwaves came
As did the radioactive tone rain
When the silo mouths began to open,
the clandestine missives went below-the-radar,
dastardly drone flying
Hugging the public opinion terrain
But the speed of misinformation didn’t lessen
Nor did the sulfuric acid reign,
corrosively falling
Panic movement came in waves,
and the A. Bunker mentality deeply arose
Hate thy neighbor was ballot chose
Iridium choices have plutonium consequences
Mushroom boom arguments clouded the air
of calm, civil discourse
Uranium fear spread swiftly, so unstable easy
As did the atomic rumors quaking
Clamorous tension flooded the global village space
Red Button clowns wasn’t laughing
at the masses anymore
Extinction amusement became more than
frivolous meltdown noise
When the rumor shockwaves came
tsunami time bomb ticking
Now, mutated anxiety blows across all lands,
unconfirmed winds ever changing
At the crimson ink
drop
of a hydrogen pen,
the rumor shockwaves, in fallout earnest, will begin
As will the radioactive hail storm reign
Only God of the Ark knows when it will brimstone end
