the rise of the wildflowers
what else is there to do than question
the degree of violence in society today
maybe we shouldn’t flatter ourselves
until we actually let loose the nukes
talk about depopulating the world
an ambitious goal somehow achieved
much sooner than previously imagined
at a cost much lower due to stagflation
and as economists rethink their stances
victorious warlords take on more land
july two thousand twenty-two
