False Atlas

False Atlas

by Leneil Shackelford


He spins the globe with an insane velocity

No one at all can fight this monstrosity

He does it quite easily, as if earth is quite small

But no one can stop him, no one at all

We do not know why he’s here today

But we know what he’ll cause––pain and dismay

And we do not know how he achieved this power

But alas does it matter? This is our final hour

So we tumble and fumble and fall to the ground

As Brock turns the earth

Around and around
