Post-Apocalyptic SundaeA Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
This, here, is another post-apocalyptic Sunday;
Gather your kids and kneel to the fallen gods. Here's the second coming of great fabled floods. Gather the kings to pray that the flames may stop. Ripped from the headlines of the centuries, The worst moments of mankind's mad depravity. This week's been a polarizing Polaroid of humanity, Where we cut out all the hope, the goodness, and the charity. Burn the witch And move to the back of the bus. Build the wall To protect everyone from us. Internment And McCarthy; Genocide We can-nazi. Repeating history Seems to be Our Manifest Destiny. © 2016 Dennis ShanabergReviews
