Illusions of Certainty
You are doomed
You drivers of gas guzzling
SUVs
who do not recycle
and your vaccinated children
drinking flouride-treated
water.
Doomed, I tell you.
You zealots who evangelize,
you priests of the
afterlife,
sowing fruitless seeds of
eternal promise,
empty promises echoing like
empty drums,
you who kill to the glory of
your god --
especially you.
And also,
deniers, believers,
skeptics,
fools and liars --
all doomed.
No one will be saved
whether they be
parachute jumpers, poets,
librarians, lawyers.
scuba divers, reporters,
weather forecasters,
innocents, evil-doers.
All will die.
All, save these immortal
words.
Dennis E. Noonan
