Pax Americanus

I find your talk troubling.
Why frame the bulk of your ideas
in terrifying Doomsday scenarios?

On my wall hangs a clock made in China
It runs on battery. One day the battery will fail.
We'll get a replacement.

Obviously the clock will not always hang
on that particular wall.  Clock, wall and me
are bound for transformations.

Does this means Doomsday? Perhaps.
But why paint the inevitable so scary?
Why not rejoice and  call it Broomsday?
