Done!

Drones flying low

skimming mere inches 

from the surface of restless seas

marked by symbols, looking Chinese

 

no, they're computer generated

machine language

 

the stage is set

killing machines 

are on their way

a coming attraction, 

primed, ready for action

 

 

who needs emotion

the press recordings 

have been prepared

and approved 

to go live

 

To celebrate the news

 

that another cell

of bible toting terrorists

have been blown to Hell

in graphic, stop-motion photography

 

full of special effects

set to a patriotic extravaganza

punctuated by blaring trumpets 

and clashing cymbals

and it's ready to air 

when it's most effective

breaking news ...at tea time

 

let's talk Emmy

 

plot line

a group of angry thugs 

on naturally occurring drugs

are seeking to incite 

panic and disturbance

among the masses

 

even to the point of giving classes

on how to avoid judgement 

in the apocalypse 

they claim is coming

 

(background drumming building to climactic)

 

 

 

 

let a few patriots die

setting up the theme 

OUR world to save

drop the flag to half mast

show bodies laying in state

with lots and lots of flags

 

And close up shots 

of people praying for a win

 

the next phase of the plan

Where Elon and the boys

send in the backup droids

 

for the thrilling windup

of the good guys

starting out catching hell

yet tech comes to the rescue

to provide a subsequent series

ideal for pay per view

 

Doesn't that sound Hot!

ready and waiting to drop

with a prearranged cast

and scintillating plot
