RIVERWOODS POEMS: KING KONG

KING KONG

 

A killer ape is loose

On the Capitol steps.

He pounds his chest and hoots

Enigmatical threats

As yet no one dares to cage

This hysterical beast

Who seems determined to wage

Full scale war in the East.

We are mesmerized by his show

Of hyperbolic menace,

Too lacking in foresight to know

We may later do penance

When millions of lives are consumed

In nuclear blasts

And our habitat is ruined

By radiant aftermath.
