blue war red hot political issues dont amount
to a hill of beans
   when Sword of Damocles  count
approaches zero hour
   as global tensions mount

signaling increased chance
   trigger finger will free
avast nuclear winter
   (across world wide web) re:
leasing plethora pyrocumulus
   mushroom clouds tree

mend us planetary explosions
   annihilating webbed wide
world, an irrevocable earthlinked debacle
   spelling widespread species
   multitudinous extinction
   ex post de facto after super
   bowling powers (wannabe) vied

to wrest empowerment spanning
   entire realm sans third rock
from the father, sun and holy ghost,
   who turned substantial pock
kits of flora and fauna
   once populating oblate spheroid ad hoc

significant swaths of life forms
   pulverized and/or turned to ash
transformed into radioactive wasteland
   after war mongers brash
lee usurped hegemony
   (ruling inhabitants
   of Gaia with an iron fist
   with a smidgen of flavoring

superfluous taste enhancer,
   when sibling burnt offering views
between Venus and Mars incendiary
   tolled mourning news
smithereens sole remnant
   poisoned every square inch
   from weapon of mass destruction
   that did cruise

engendering thick noxious fog
   (disabling fox and roach)
while smoldering seas and continents
   skull and crossbones didst poach
amidst the gasified, liquified, pureed
   where holographic ghoulish super bowl coach

rendering lifelessness home for menagerie
   where virtue trounced vice as organisms
   (particularly one primate) didst try
(predominant 21st century simians)
   tool heave with amity, comity, and empathy
   animals and plants an experiment
   that went a wry

presaging a nuclear winter with nary a winner
implicating mankind as the absolute sinner
instantaneously after Doomsday Clock
   signaled point of no return
   where grim reaper the sole grinner.
