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
These are a few poets I love and greatly adore
Just a short list, there are so many more
Wordsworth writes praising beautiful nature
You can't find many of Shakespeare's stature.
Tennyson's thoughts are poetry in motion
Milton's poetry captures our emotions.
Sylvia Plath"s confessions are truly heartfelt
Dickinson's poignant writes make our heart melt.
Ogden Nash is full of pun and humour
Ezra Pound's insanity is no rumour
Shelley's lyrics have a gentle flow
Tagore's song offerings make hearts glow.
Pope is popular for epigrams and verse
Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" is nonsense words.
Maya Angelou, a "Phenomenal Woman"
Many of Poe's poems were inspired by women.
William Blake's intensely spiritual writes
In Keats poetry every heart delights
Dante's moral philosophy is a bit daunting
I must stop here, the list keeps mounting.
From the edge of WTC
The world can now see
For the first time in history
I believe in God’s prophecy.
The pursuit of Happiness is my goal
My emotion is something I can’t control
Success is what I’m seeking for at school
But obstacles make me feel so uncool.
No one really takes a moment
To welcome the time of the judgment
No one really knows, hereby
The philosophy we live by.
Despite all, God is watching over us
In this darkness, we have to be cautious.
This worldwide crisis won’t last long,
If faith and hope are quite far along.
From the Freedom Tower located nearby,
To the sparkling stars beneath the sky,
A new, moral philosophy rises,
Intricate to be envisioned at naked eyes.
I just hope that you already had a clue.
No matter the aspect of life you get into,
Unless, of course, money has no value,
The truth is believed not to be fully true.
Indeed, justice should be evenly distributed.
Like the Citadelle Laferriere, it is exploited.
It is as famous as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
But, its survivors remain wealthy and callous.
Sophisticated Weapons are conveying humanity.
Day and night have a common affinity,
Strenuous activities require almost no sleep
Which is apparently no longer in need.
To be elected to preserve the future of a nation,
A man is struggling to prove himself an asset.
However, as his dream reached its destination,
He ignores that his promises were a huge debt!
