The Veto Power Pandemic

The anglerfish of the Atlantic

ocean that renovated the

depths of hell with black bricks,

the Atlantic gods that swallowed

the earth, flowing and floating

together alone, “the world is mine,”

the Bric and allied bricklayers,

saying, “respect other worldviews

the world is not yours,” the mourning

idren are caught between two

competing forces, the battles

for military and political

supremacies, and the struggles

for who-is-who, who are the

omnipotent Abingos and the

omniscient Amingos, the warlord

who spent trillion of dollars on

arm, the politrickster with illegal “turn,”

who prayed to pig for forgiveness

of sins, and the hippopotamus

that hid in the periwinkle-shell

from the eye that sees, I can

see them, the them that ruined

the ozone, and the sun’s eldest

son, the frozen sun with a womb

and bomb, who gave birth to

the patriarch and the matriarch

of all bombs, the universal

monarch with moral compass,

who stationed warriors on

plastic dome, the nightingale in

nightgown, the world police that

heated up the hadal zone

with zoning formular…,

Horroshima take this,

Nasagashima this yours, and

the put-in, the put-out, that

putteth forth ‘tactical punch’

on the Belavirus island, that

caracalla whose warbirds

are flying too close to the

Tower of Babel, would

live forever with ‘last lightning’

in Golgotha, uncle XYZ

zipped up the mainland with

reefs and sandcastles,

zipped down the major isles

with capital ship, humanity

face an existential threat

now than was the case, not

just because of the sun’s killing rays

but the pregnant ogre of

Zoan peninsula, who

has been launching ICBMs

here and there, the deity, a

stiff-necked Vampiric who

has enriched her shrine

with uranium to make

the killer mosters, here

comes a seven-headed

spirit, i hear his heartbeat

and a bit of what he

says, “enough of Ahab’s

homicidal reign, enough

of Nebu’s molestation in

our lives”, and his godship

general Armageddon, Magadan

waging war against children

and women, while other lords

are divided, either for or

against the new world order,

the established order and

the veto power that

had anointed the five worthies

and their compeers, as the

patron kings of the world,

the int’l and regional bodies that

have outlived their

usefulness, playing politricks

with peoples lives, the

temptress and the enchantress

that frowned at a hybrid

of the breeze and fire, i have

to blow with my own lungs,

which open up, open down,

the open and close secretes,

we are closer to that

wretched night when the

dome cannot stop the doom!
