Imperium?
POETRY FORMAT, 8 Jun 2015
Tom Greening – TRANSCEND Media Service
Our nation’s efforts, cruel and chronic,
to reign supreme and hegemonic
impress our allies as moronic,
imperialist and quite demonic.
We think that we should rule the earth
because worldwide there’s such a dearth
of beings with our noble traits,
thus we should dominate their fates.
The world as our imperium?
This is a daft delirium.
