The LAST LAUGH

Bruised survivors scavenging familial limbs

eyes blinded by scarlet puking earth

split toes poking the stranded ripped shoe 

a finish only we ought to be see 

with salted popcorn for company.


Yet human intelligence defies all borders

the thrill to annihilate to irresistible

video games insatiable to 

whet real human appetite

Oozing red, bruised blue

the preferred colours of global leaders.



Death, the most marketable commodity

Countries the most zealous customers

hoarding  tools of destruction.

Man made borders and contempt 

drawing human extinction.


The flock of birds hovering 

above the corpses have the last laugh.

Colour, borders, nationalities

non existent in their orbit

whole world now served on

a free platter for them to share.
