Recipe of Death

The Day had arrived

And we were done with our cake.

With a plate of urbanization

And some ingredients we invented,

Long ago

We set out to bake,

Set out to make

A spherical cake.

Years and years it took us.

It was laid out before us -

Generations of perspiration.

For miles and miles

In all directions it spread.

The finished product

Disappeared behind the dark horizon.

We did it.

We managed to make

We managed to bake

A spherical cake.

And here is our recipe :

First you need

To clean the batter

Of lava, water and soil.

So cut down the trees,

Liquidate the animals,

Throw 'way the birds

And the fishes.

Simultaneously to the water you must add

Two billion kilograms of toxins.

Garnish your cake,

Your spherical cake

With a dollop of genocide,

A dash of despair,

A spoon or two of nuclear war

And four cups of avarice.

Then heat the mixture.

Use carbon emissions...

And slowly...

Begin to bake

(You're about to make)

A spherical cake.

And once your cake is made,

Watch it crumble

Rapidly

Into a mound of cosmic dust

And perish along with it.

What do you think?

What do you feel?

How do you find our Recipe of Death?
