Wait 'Till Next Year (Peace now Armageddon Later) - poem

 

Should the end of the human voyage occur
with two opportunities for flowering wars
to spill over into such conflagrations
as are ignored as externalities
with major weapons suppliers
providing jobs in blue states too
that Armageddon described of yore
when gore was king and future spec zinged
Iran had missiles primed
like clever importunate rhymes
it should wait at least till next year
so many aren’t ready
and need time, more

Not a just war
Armageddon at a discount price
with spangles and inaugurations would sure look nice
as if humanity had nothing else to do
life ends in death and that is true
for the comfortable
and practical the end may seem new

Iran looking down on those low nations
has hypersonic missiles for thistling cues
from friends de guerre pressured too
to fund Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen rebels
to overcome Sunni royals and Jewish lives well
sparking that 12th man rising for dooms-day hell
a theory roughly shared at pre-tribulation light speed squared

NATO is a Lavender Hill mob
automatically opening wars
with encrypted key fobs
with many worlds theories versus practical clods
jobs for everyone
solitary life lobs
bureaucrat rackets smashing forehands sover nets
sweating blood and crown of thorns treks
fear is  practical for left- leaning wrecks
missiles glisten as saviors for thee doth they sing
wait till next year, maybe then bang  a gong.
