THE MOMENT
(poem) [Apocalypse. Suggestion.]
A powerful man roams the Earth.
A walking disaster with a mean streak.
Everyone gives him a wide berth.
He's fond of picking on the weak.
Compared to him, that's everyone.
There is a prophecy of hope.
A whisper. A rumor. A chance.
It's said there's one hope.
Only one man that stands a chance.
The prophecy is true
if slightly misleading.
It's not a beat down with kung fu.
He can't be beat with violent homicide.
Maybe ask nicely and give him a gun.
"Would you please commit suicide?"
