Safe Rooms for the Pusillanimous

You spew more pompous pedantry
Than a sixty inch principal
Spillway pipe flowing from a full
Reservoir filled by rainfall, three
Feet in less than twenty four, presently
Steady rising water level; visual
Picture of hell to the local political
With the doomsday media there to see.

Just so happens, your ignorance contained,
The dam retards the crisis as designed.
Those who believe are more than half-brained,
Seeking the safe room you're just kept blind.
Facing the turbulence and bloodstained,
It's resisting the flow that saves mankind.
