The Doomsday Epitaph

Heaven help them...they knew not what they did,
    In capitulation to brutality
By weapon systems in big business bid
     And armed for global catastrophe!

There were rules in place which all had known
     Yet ill will nevertheless persisted
Into simian rages overgrown
     To be the evils rarely resisted.

And so injustice became the rule
     With decency...the lonely exception...
In the weary mind of some old fool
     Who saw the world as misconception...

Poorly explained by the creationist
In his consumption as misanthropist
Obsessing over some sexual sin...

When they might have had a future begin.
