earth curse

die.
why can't we all just die?
and drown in an ocean of our own --
blood
and freeze under ice to be found by the next race
and bubble and melt in a city-sized cauldron
and choke to death, on our carbon monoxide
reality
and be shot with a human sized bullet

we can not even execute our own demise
in an efficient manner

why can't we
rig an earth-sized bomb
and set it off on every country's
independence day

or send each and every neighbor envelopes of anthrax
or pipe bombs in packages
delivered by Federal Express

"if elected i promise a pipe bomb in every mailbox"

why can't we burn
and smolder with all of our jealous rage
and suffocate from our endless society
of red tape and bureaucracy
and each die a hundred thousand times
and a hundred thousand more
