This Is MAD!
We had it all, we thought, but it was only make believe
For we had our blind eyes turned, so we'd not perceive
As the automatons transmitted, non-intelligent comms
The despots rained upon us, their missiles and bombs
The sheep 'baaed' in their flocks, like irrational crowds
But the AI dispersed them, beneath mushroom clouds
The fiery end was torturous, in our apocalyptic demise
Incinerating our toxic screams and vaporizing their lies
In the non-now, lightning illuminates the poisonous rain
Where, in a nuclear winter, humanity's sanity's all in vain
And if we could, mayhap we'd look back at what we had
Before raising the pits of Hell to Earth, for... this is MAD!
