Streets of Metropolis Flow Blood Red

Towering skyscrapers
but a recession below
zombies trudge
beneath the sunset’s glow.

Vampires fly in the night air
werewolves gnaw and tear
the streets of Metropolis flow blood red
on this night of the living dead.

Shiva may dance at the core of the atom
and up rises the Babylonian Mammon 
demon god of commerce and trade
Wall Street guardian of financial aid.

And Quetzalcoatl has developed a new flu
he’s a serpent through and through
feathered and plumed
with Mexico doomed
his talons grab the rest of the world
and Hell on earth has unfurled.
