Scrooge McDuckA Poem by JR
Soon we’ll buy all our drugs from the government stamped pure and concentrated we will be hemmed in soon we’ll be stuck in little habs on the moon stamping hammering yammering at the surface to give up its gold and they’ll send it back in rockets so someone can have an Olympic sized swimming pool filled with it and take a dip just like that duck on the cartoons when I was a kid soon they’ll take our cash because it’s easier to be taxed when everything is tracked and we’re a number in a computer sitting in a room watching us move so anyone could know what we’re up to soon we’ll start to care but our care will be handed to a computer in farm in a field in Kansas or Fort Worth where water cooling makes it hiss along deciding when to send the men who will take us to the white room which brings us back to the drugs we’ll get from the government soon though someone will forget the stretch of black and white years of regret for Hiroshima Nagasaki Utah and Bikini Atoll and will start lobbing nukes start tactical small then let it all get strategically out of control all Hell will break loose. We’ll be reduced to carbon then atoms then quarks then bytes then bits. We’ll finally find out if there was a reason for all this bullshit.
