Would be funny to see bullet warfare
conducted in weightless space
enterprise craft conflicts are closer...
that some word has filtered down
from the commander, chief of armed forces
no earth force commands weightlessness
from planet Crapton
that the man in the costume labeled S
can't save us anymore from ourselves
clicking onto cabled police chases
for hot forensic proof...

Had the body only floated
it would not have fallen
had the stocks glided
investors would not have jumped
to decide on gravitation pull
weightlessness knows no reckless tumble
a football throw would equal a fumble
a weightless world would meet you
projectiles would greet you

Some word filtered up from a bat cave
a butler said that a black caped man
cannot be save us from ourselves
from nightly pub crawls and crashes
for hot conflicting news
like who conducted another disaster...
who forgot to respect their master

Martin, I enjoy your take on this moment in mankind's history. All these 'current events' are but a split second in the timeline, but may indeed be pivotal moments in the long run adventure of humanity.

Can count on you reading them pity that other are so busy thinking of their patriotism they can't sit back and observe
from another more objective perspective. Thanks for commenting
