It's a Man's World

by Genevieve Sturrock

the world is coming to an end
buildings crashing to the ground
in loud rumbling thunder
cars flying through the air
and people screaming for help
as they get smashed by the debris

the ground shakes as
the giant robots stalk forward
tearing up the railroads
in their pursuit of the dinosaurs

the pirates are making
a good defense from the top
of their plastic boats
waving their little swords
and shooting foam darts

the cowboys gave up the ghost
after their campsite was
scattered by the thoughtless
meandering of the
bright blue anaconda

and over the noise and chaos
of the world's demise
ringing pure and clear
as the most perfect
of crystal bells
floats the laughter
of boys as they
satisfy their inner
lust for world
domination

...genevieve, i see your "craziness" and playfulness in this one...no different than Revelation in the ol' Bible...this one [on first blush] appears 'of a rambling' nature...it is, in an insightful way, love it!...peace, chaz

Hi Geneveive, You've got it down pat, my friend. Great write. But the men don't know it yet, it's a Women's World too. Yeah and that's about right, some men not acting like a man. They act like little boys at times.
