Junk Poetry

by Thomas George

to the world at large,

with some scriptural immanence




Go Fish!

Get grits!


some biblical arrogance

lobs in nuclear grapeshot.


naming herself peacekeeper,

briefly glowing her triumphal god, 

for setting squabbling nations

widely regarded as odd.


deadly powers to defend foment

unevenly but universally.

sideshows flash network red readily.

fools persist til satellites fail,

and rulers suspend constitutions.


darkness nurtures chosen ones 

from beyond earth's pale

to manifest and prevent

murderous human frailties

men's wills to apocalypse

from releasing fatal fury in defense.

blast the fools it shall.
