-Midnight Prophecy-
"The end is almost near
& I'm not sure how I know this
I just feel it in my bones
& in my sleep I see explosions
My middle name is Logan
& that's close enough to Moses
Plus, my cousin's name is Noah
So in a way I'm "chosen"(?)".
"Oh, religious hocus-pocus ..."
"No, Joseph, I'm not joking
I'm just tryna think and focus
& make sense of this psychosis
That's inside my broken head."
"Bro ...
Even though you're loco
Let's take it from the top
Every night you go to bed...."
"And have this reocurring dream
Where I'm hiking up a mountain
Near the mouth of a ravine
It's a picture perfect scene
Birds are chirping in the trees
Perched high above the creek
While the turf beneath my feet
Is a skirt of fireweed
And purple Bee Orchids
All surrounded by a green
Breathtaking stretch
Of a never-ending forest
That produces fresh air
Like the sourthern tip of Portland
With a subtle hint of orange
And a pine-needle smell
That I taste on my tongue
Every time I inhale
As I hike up the trail
The Sun sinks and melts
Right beneath the blue sky
Making room for the Moon
That'll bloom in due time
Just as soon as the hue
Of the overcast fades
And the firmament is ready
For the lunar escapade
I continue on my way
'til I reach a plateau
& what I see down below
Is a glowing spectacle
A city full of light
That illuminates at night
As the traffic shines bright
On the highway that lines
The entire downtown
Which is roughly several miles
From my current locale
And this circumstance allows
A perfect point of view
Cause the purposeful & proud
Ubanized corral
In the middle of the valley
Is about to go KAPOW
As an earthbound missile
Hits the center of the ground!!!
I am totally astounded
(In a horrified sense)
It goes soundless for a smidgen
Than an orange storm emits
An enormous fire pit
From the depths of the metro
That's so forcefully intense
That it forms a swarm of winds
Full of thermal radiation
That destroys the whole grid
In a vaporized fashion
Leaving skyscrapers stripped
To their bare min·i·mums
And men burnt to crisps
Without a single living one
To tell of the events
Caused by Kim Jong-un
And his North Korean bomb
That will propagate a war
& cause a nuclear response."
"Well, Gotdamn, Scottie
I'm happy it's a dream
& you're not really Nostradamus."

"Emergency Alert:
Donald Trump declares war."
