Penultimate PoemA Poem by Brave New WorldRather polemic yet againDid you hear the news the other day? For our sins and for our lies Lunatics now hold the die No matter what you do or what you say There’s a goddamn bomb going your way! Every dream you ever had Was killed by a secular jihad You and your lover lie in slumber Blown away by a parade of unabombers! Watch your T.V and cry in dismay Send all your prayers to the T.S.A! Old white dreary eyed news broadcaster Age old rocker on his fendercaster Sell us the same old bull Wearing your corporate shul
Tell me I’m safe when you know I’m not Tell me I’m free when you know I’m notW****s on parade Dancing in a selfish charade With their hearts beating like a drum Boiling itself down to an atomic hum In the penultimate minute They’re still trying to win it With bombs going off outside of their homes But they don’t care, they live in domes! Domes of money, domes of lies Domes where they give their endless good-byes Hide us, hide us, in the sun Don’t throw us out in front of your blaring gun Did you read the news today? Our future is only a bomb away!
