scary sandy & the good lil’ believers

there are idiots who get
excited when they hear that a
storm is approaching,
they smile & secretly wish for
the end---
in the past few days
when hurricane Sandy has been
ripping up the Caribbean,
religious psychos of all shapes &
sizes, no matter how far from the
water they live, have been
rejoicing, either saying aloud
to the rational:
“see, “gawd is angry! he’s gonna
bringun’ dawn his wrath!”
or quietly saying the same thing
to themselves &
walking with a smile of glee
that finally
finally
finally,
their fictional character,
found in their little book
is gonna “fulfill his promise”
&
bring them all to the promised
land.

pure & simple,
if you are fucking dumb enough
to WANT disaster,
then it is justifiably poetic at best
if such a demise comes thrashing
down upon your head,
be it Sandy or Sarah or
whoever the fuck comes next---
just stay in that recliner
stuffing down the chips,
getting on your knees & slobbering in
front of the church channel,
hoping that someday the world will
be washed of the rest of us &
ignore global warming.
