Now an apocalypse of our own making.
Now an apocalypse we can use.
We are bombing
schools for the cause of Christ
And the Christ, Inc.
shareholders approve
(but deeply regret
the inevitable, but very necessary, tragedy)
of bombing
hospitals.
Appointed, anointed
and the
self-aggrandizement
of worms who are
not men
to light the signal
fires in Iran
to cause Armageddon
explosive
encounters
to mark the return
of Jesus
false face actor
of a
grotesque
eschatology,
crude bones
unsubstantiated
and the groping
swagger
of insatiable egos
flaunting the marks
of its colors
burn gold, silver,
and precious oil
your greater
condemnation
revealed in fire
the Earth groans
murder
under the
villainies of your theology
the fires of signal
men shriek faster
and strip flames
from the doors of hell.
Now for war.
