‘Twas the night fore 2k1
And all through the town
Radicals stirring;
And wackoes abound
The shotguns were placed
In the corners with care
In hopes that the shelling
Would be far from there
Not many were worried
For their fortunes that night
But they were all unaware
Of all evil’s delight
Y2k was over
The violence was through
Though some were cautious
They were far and few
The Russians, the missiles
They were of no crises
But what lay beyond was
Returning of vices
Not many were worried
And greed was unseen
But there was disturbance
Of humans unclean
Avarice undoubting
And futile attempts
Salvation sensation
No person exempt
Then out of the high-rise
The sirens were wailing
The fires were rising
Security failing
The riots had started
From N.Y to L.A.
Anarchists were stirring
Declaring the day
Nobody had an idea
Of how to approach
The grim situation
Started to encroach
My TV went on
Tuned to channel one
The news was horrific
Emergency begun
There was such a panic
As crime waves did break
Soon civilians were dying
By them we forsake
Our reason and ration
Our sense of control
No one to protect us
An unfulfilled role
The man with the news
Said, “ Evacuate now!
Don’t care who you are
Just get out some how!”
Explosions of unrest
From here and from there
As mace and as anthrax
Grew into the air
The clouds over cities
Were dark and foreboding
As websites were crashing
And hackers were coding
As NORAD declared
A breach of defense
Detonation of Houston
Confirmed as immense
The world held still
As then did emerge
A sign of tranquility
Humans on the verge
It swallowed the light
From miles around
On darkness, on silence
Without a sound
The end was then coming
G.R. boy drew near
The hearts of America
Filled there with fear
But all was not lost
-Commandoes of nine-
Assailed the rioters
And then all was fine…
But this is a child’s dream
An imagining try
So millennium all
You’re not all going to die.
