Elephant Apocalypse

wake up and smell the coffee it turned into garbage in the night

wake up and look at your children they are zombies instilled with fright

school taught them to be robots and you encouraged their plight.

slavery is the norm, and you let your brains be mined

by the greedy and the power-blind.

you laze and muck about, your universe is small

it circles around inside the radius of your skull.

so wake up! and smell the garbage,

it is seething under your window

its is festering and mustering a truly terrible blow.

wake up and feel the heat

as the earth prepares you a complete defeat.

wake up and hear the distant boom

as the war drums are beat.

You hold the candle to the elephant's butt

and you are idling around not knowing

that when it farts it will send you, your kith and kin

blowing.

I actually can smell the flowers if I want to when I wake. Just that I prefer the smell of toothpaste. Or on most days my pillow.

Life isn't that bleak, go watch wolverine and become like me, meek.

I don't know, just wanted it to rhyme.

Hope the few who live rather than survive can prevent the Apocalypse.
