Spray Tan Apocalypse (Ian Roure)
Bombshells bursting here and there
A whiff of sulfur in the ether
Gradually the war began
On your phone and your computer
Incoming: voices of destruction punish and deceive
Incoming: scathing degradation
Venom imported from a well-known Slavic regime
And in the dawn's early drizzle:
Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!
Insults in the articles, injured in the comments section
Casualties have mounted up: spelling, grammar and non-fiction
Incoming: denial and distraction - always hide never seek
Incoming: gross appropriation
Tiny fingers grabbing that which was once out of reach
And o'er the land of the taken
Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!
The seven tawdry trumpets blow
The golden rain from heaven flows
The age ends for all who live below
In an orange glow...
Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!
Spray Tan surprise: there's no gettin' over it
Spray Tan Apocalypse!

King of the Past (Ian Roure)
History hasn’t gone your way
Somehow, some fairness has somewhat held sway
And Kodachrome colors complicate
When a black and white world is just a tyrant away
You’ve joined the caravan going back
In a procession of lies
One day you hope and pray your flag at last
Will be so proudly unfurled
By the King of the Past
In your black and white world
History hasn’t gone your way
And the last you thing you need is some more of the same
You want a ticket to ‘51
And a prophet who claims he’ll make that kingdom come
You’ve joined the caravan going back
In a procession of lies
One day you hope and pray your flag at last
Will be so proudly unfurled
By the King of the Past
In your black and white world
We’re all on the caravan going back
In a procession of lies
Now that it’s come to pass your flag at last
Has been so proudly unfurled
By the King of the Past
Here’s your black and white world
Here’s your black and white world
Here’s your black and white world (King of the Past)
Here’s your black and white world (King of the Past)
Here’s your black and white world
