Whoami? Within following figurative nutshell:

rew4er2nail

Yours truly just a fluke of the universe

worming his way hook, line and sinker

thru the meandering time stream,

which current speeds up the older I get.

 

A garden variety (generic) agrarian wannabe
antiauthoritarian, bookish antiquarian bloke,
antitotalitarian, well mannered barbarian
disestablishmentarian, egalitarian, futilitarian,
grammarian, quasi hereditarian, latitudinarian,
libertarian, majoritarian, nonsectarian,
nonvegetarian, proletarian, sexagenarian,
Unitarian.

 

Yours truly amazingly
chronologically, enigmatically,
gracefully, interminably weathered

despite malevolent mental maelstrom,

linkedin with extinction of Homo sapiens

in tandem with many flora and fauna

populating planet Earth
courtesy Manhattan Project
when Ernest Rutherford split the atom.

 

Fiendish and gruesome

phantasmagoric denizens
dwell deep inside subterranean vault

perform an evil dance
haunt psychic landscape

with imaginary (yet realistic)
gargoyle visitations cast macabre trance
nocturnal unconscious invaders

cavort and gallivant
disturb quiescent sleep with

devilish and sinister prance.

 

Apparitions crept stealthily

into peaceful slumber receptacle
repository whence illusory

landscape of dreams
take place to rejuvenate exhausted

body, mind and spirit triage
rent asunder blissful sleep

with a startled fright
cold sweat drenched

nighttime garments and bedding
teeth chattered uncontrollably
heart pounded loudly inside chest
nightmarish phantoms wrought

an awful ghoulish sight.

 

Mushroom cloud anniversary

triggered frenzied gargantuan hallucination
since 6 August 1945, at 08:15

inauguration into atomic age took place
one country after another sought

to acquire demonic and destruction devices
maintain self-preservation in

surreal atomic weapons race
impossible to escape the dark threat

that looms and threatens life on Earth
one launched missile spells extermination

across entire global space.

 

No escape from humankind military machines
munitions march mean madness

and guaranteed demise to all life
Homo Sapiens violent history of

bias, intolerance and/or prejudice
characterizes vicious warfare

and chronic species strife
unaffordable legacy for future,

(and perhaps alien) archeologists
who will sift thru civilization debris

with delicate knife.

 

Artifacts buried in heap of pulverized

and radioactive ash
civilization monuments

and hedonistic symbols

gone in a blinding brilliant flash
irksome flotsam and jetsam

spewed into outer space
alien nations light years distant

collect miniscule bits and pieces
offer object lesson as extinction

for beings that become excessively brash.

    dear friend I must say 'you sure do put that dictionary to good use'

    indeed, let us overcome our tick-box reality's, oppressive society
    by ticking all the boxes - simultaneously
    and watch those global human-resource departments
    reign of PC - Dictatorship: self-combust - unilaterally, lol
