The Apocalypse Apartments
word on the street is that
the rich of the empire want to be safe & sound
when the sky falls,
when their “god” spits on humanity
breeding “hellfire,”
or when the nukes fly or the ground breaks up
like it always does in the movies---
be it the Mayan calendar bull*****or
the polar shift, etc.,
hollywood has scared even the rich & powerful into their cute
little bunkers---
no doubt, these are the same folks who are building their little
self-sufficient island/boat countries off the coasts of their former nations
in international waters,
so as to avoid undergoing the laws & oppressive conditions
that the rest of us get to enjoy.
having all bought themselves apocalypse apartments
which have been built in the old missile silos
still hanging around after the cold war
somewhere in the middle of kansas,
the spending of between 2 & 7 million seems to be a small
price to pay
for the ability to sit nestled 174 feet underground
with 9 feet thick walls of concrete
separating them wheat from us
chaff.
guess that while one is gearing up to go &
plunder the boat/islands off the coast,
us legions & legions of
pissed-off compadres
can make a pit stop now at the silos
to get us some of the booty denied us
all of these decades since reagan.
