this nuclear winter
these genetic nuclei
so many fanatic dissenters
general unpragmatic politics
fragments pushing buttons
recall that garden of Eden
spring encouraging summer
but war chose this mud zone
fall summoning winter
all these bloody bombs
so many fatal concussions
now humanity is praying
speaking in a morbid tone
I'm distracted now
winter has me in its grip
I'm flabbergasted
every nucleated day now
unsurely witnessing
every sinking ship
we're clearly shaking
deep in some fearsome fantasy
what ever will
we be drinking
when clean water
becomes an ancient myth
this planetary necromancy
visibly we're vexed
socially we've been hexed
over and over again
still we don't see the light
so much digital heroin
coursing through our veins
rigid on this discourse
polarized in this fluid world
still cruelly the planet turns
what fueled course
are we on
shall days ever be
sweet and smooth
will days continue to be
incomplete and morally coarse
horses couldn't pull the world apart
like weakling humans have
maybe it's an alien chromosome
right from the very start
maybe it's some legendary rib
but beauty isn't hereditary
with this sedimentary view
stacking moon and stars
still one cell
divides into two
realizing four billion galaxies
reality and so on
becoming vast universe
solar is what we go on
becoming convertible things
like a protean polar sea
even versatile fish
relate to variables
like feathered sterile birds
whether we roundly see
breathing compound air
sounds becoming oceans
maybe it's this third eye
one can't necessarily be
seeing it's just water
how wrong is nuclear
every cataclysm we fear
this long winter might be
what many of us share
some visionary nightmare
when will God appear
does God ever truly care
when eternal darkness comes
when a modified sea burns
when the ungodly burning sky
is full of oddity and drones
I ponder what magic
shall dare to tragically appear
I wonder what legend
good earth will ever share
everything we ever held
so near and very dear
if it comes to the very end
finally when everything is gone
what will there be
to share or ever defend
what is true love
smothered by real hate
always birthing brother war
truth forever buried
far beneath the gore
along with mother peace
such a confusing maze
some terrible racket
our wretched confusion
about some other horrible attack
we're living in a constant daze
these never ending nightmares
mixed in an eclectic multitude
fixed by defective delusion
so this age of starlight
dejected at this startled stage
by what we abjectly do
we better be good and right
or we'll go mad and blind
there won't be any peace
or joyful love to find
just a vast ghastly cold
shrouded in ghostly darkness
a host of excrement and misery
tokens of immortal genius
once portal black holes
outweigh themselves
what energy can they emit
or is remittance a forgotten physic
some psychic energy could admit
there might still
be committed thought
there could then be
some ratio of fitting light
if some miracle is wrought
racial creation could still be
sought perfect and in reflective sight
spatial emptiness could prevail
should war and hate
be permanently curtailed
reversing this retail us
continuous conflict
marking us down
selling us stale words
still we're buying
into all of this
muss and horrid fuss
this frigid winter stuff
an equilateral equation
of nuclear mistrust
we're thrust into an unreal future
trussed up by so many unknowns
where icy blue
becomes coal black
coal turning blood red
belching toxic smoke
lingering oceans of waste water
back and back and back
to some other trackless beginning
relapse into another ruddy ending
trapped and trending hotter
perhaps formulating
into some other
brutal winter scene
twisted nuclei
storms of irreverent genes
hidden forms of mitochondria
relics in a cave of lost hope
what cost
cellular melancholia
advent in a veil of formula and smoke
so depraved us
engraved by stardust
we behave as swarms of parasites
but where is warmth and insight
so presidential into grave winter
divided by depraved nuclei
perhaps some new physic
mixed in fizzy waters
fixed by dangerous night
finalized by lost purity
at the cost of beneficial right
agonized by such dim light
obscuring resolving vision
still we're evolving
ask but why
we are revolving
while we're never finding
paradisiacal enrichment
still we're unrelenting
on this unenlightened flight
