Yellowcake - Uranium Concentrate -
The doomsday rush is on; there's a special going now,
as we linger dangerously toward the Bible’s vow,
for in the prophecies of Israel thousands of years ago,
the prophets who address us now have the evidence to show,
our end may be coming closer; we may join the Dinosaur.
This world can live without us because it did once before.
Could it be war that will destroy us with weapons of destruction?
Will hordes sweep across the Continents in a murderess influx eon?
But there's been wars since man was born; nothing stops war raging on.
Still the populace explodes so war the culprit must be wrong.
Maybe a virus! Something new not understood to quickly lay the healthy down,
and sweep into the cultured world where no cure can be found.
Maybe it's AIDS; but like other viles, with no cure years ago,
were overcome by sheer numbers and populations stood to grow.
Have we reached the stage where we're a plague the world cannot sustain.
Destroying ecology, biology, hybridizing, so seed cannot produce the same.
We can't drink our water; our air is poisoned through sheer greed.
Even this is not enough to kill us off, but we're starting to bleed.
The answer may be simple. Our watch; microwave, smoke detector or T.V.
Right to our re-assuring leaders who claim all’s well so arrogantly.
Mass killing may be accidental; we won't see what put our lives at stake!
We meekly walk behind to share the profit with our slice of yellowcake.
