Bleak
and glowing
The
weather forecast is
Bleak
and glowing,
Burning winds
with blowing bits
Of the
cities now dust.
Having a
season or…three
Of nuclear
winter
Is good
for you and me
Oh, you
suffer from
Seasonal
depression?
That’s
too bad
I wish
for you
That there
was another
Color of
sky to be had
The new
back to school
Fall line
of coveralls and
Lead lined
suits
Aren’t too
bad
They are
saying grey over
Hunters orange
will not be
Just another
fad

ReplyDeleteha...the hunters orange got me...there is a bit of feeling in this one not too many survive that nuclear winter....
ReplyDeleteSo much to think about! Nuclear winter - a frightening thought.
ReplyDeleteI just hope this shit holds off long enough for me to get outta here first. Sorry. Self-centered that way.
ReplyDeletechrs, this is AWESOME! in so few words you describe it all, what life would be like, with just the right dose of disgust.

I know this is out of context, but I love the prospect of the sky radically changing colors from day to day.
