watch the images dance.
$19.95 for do it all designer genes.
Engineer for a healthier life
don’t forget it’s a great meat tenderizer
as well as a thermal nuclear warhead.
Surf the digital channels
transcend the matrix in nanoseconds
get caught in the web of world wide damnation
the information age
the information rage
were knowledge is power
power is for the insane
greed for the masses;
Fury for the masses
Mine junk, candy for the brain,
sink into the lives of the media s dirty drain.
Fury for the masses!
See justice become a freak show
in the minds of the meek
at the global media circus,
see an orange demagogue rise to power, fame!
See the murderer walk
or the execution of victims.
See an not-so-innocent dark man
Inflame a nation to change.
Rage the Masses.
See a serial killer talk
about the abuse of his toy train.
Driven him insane, deranged!
Made millions on the rights
or
see violence for violence
see the guns explode
see the The Drugs flow
see the decay of the world
in all its technicolor gore.
Fury for the Masses…
Russia has indefensible missiles
that can carry a nuclear warhead.
And climate change triggers bells and whistles,
for future predictions look bad, filled with dread.
Kim Jong-un has built a nuclear bomb
threatening to nuke the United States.
And ISIS kills in the name of Islam,
thriving in the shadows of our misstates.
While the free world’s led by President Trump,
allies are insulted and potentates kissed.
And the market's heading into a slump
that's sure to place poverty on this list.
Today’s spicy news bits are food for thought
should these fail to frighten, I’ve got a lot.

Security Breaches at USA Nuclear Missile Base
By Elton Camp
In Montana, Malmstrom Air Force base
To keep Minuteman missiles is the place
Each is tipped with a nuclear warhead
That can cause many folks to be dead
Since they can be instantly fired
Each is in a silo and a guard hired
Yet, a relentless invader’s got inside
Digging a tunnel he has been spied
Under silo’s protective fences he will go
Damages roads, fences, cables we know
Barriers to tunnels have been erected
However, they didn’t work as expected
The invaders continued to come on in
There seemed no way security could win
Laboratory tests have shown a new way
It will undergo tests at the base any day
Its success still remains to be seen
But security guards are feeling keen
Perhaps they will soon be sure
That the missiles are secure
These ground squirrels can’t dig
When the new barriers they rig
Thus the rodents no longer can
Come near to the Minuteman
