Too bad it's a poem, although I would have changed it's classification to anything different just to be a jerk to you. ha ha

BTW, it's a satire, which means it's not to be taken literally like it's a first person narrative. It's rather a second person view of the hypocritical masses who claim to welcome the end in a religious sense, and yet shriek in horror at the thought of nuclear war and terrorism.
It's much like a Maynard James Keenan song, like Bottom off of Undertow, where he says, 'weakness keeps me alive, hungerness keeps me alive, guilt keeps me alive at the bottom.' It's not to be taken literally, but through the eyes of a junkie, or a codependent person. Of course, I realize you don't like Maynard, but I do.
