Situation turns precarious
the Exceptional State rumbles
scary, while sickly hilarious
how its effete Elite fumbles
Exceptionalism losing gloss
down to bare metal, corroding fast
The world sneers relieved at its loss
history shows: Empires never last
The Environment stands slim chance
when us Humans purblindly butt in
Never fades our arrogance
until someone presses The Button
when we’ll hope not to be among the last
still alive after The Mushroom Clouds blast
