USE A NEW SMOKE DETECTOR

Chemtrails above us
spell out such gloom --
what's in the odd vapor?
A message of doom?
You think I've gone crazy, dear.
Just watch the news.
It doesn't matter which channel you choose.
The "Terror Alert" is now orange-ly high
and just as insane as a chem-clouded sky.
Like, tell me we'll ever
see cool shades of blue
meaning "Hey, take it easy, Folks!
We are now through
fighting terrorist types
like bin Laden, Hussein --
you have nothing to fear.
Where in worry is gain?

What if leaders mislead us?
Which secrets they keep
will subject their subjects
to permanent sleep?
Those chemtrails above us
so subtly show
there's something about them
we all need to know --
that "practice makes perfect"
and "X marks the spot."
(That fait accompli's
in a new smallpox shot?)

For your sake, and mine, dear, I pray that it's not.
