Donal Mahoney- Two Poems

Domestic Terrorists

The ones we didn’t abort

we’re starting to euthanize

so no worries there.

It’s the ones in the middle

still walking around

we have to worry about.

They must go, too, you know. 

All the guns will help.

And the heroin, too.

Eternity in Global Warming

A clerk in a health food store

became upset when I said

I didn’t see anything I wanted

since I wasn’t a vegan

or vegetarian and liked my

red meat rare and dripping.

She said I needed to know

Nature is God and

Satan is Climate Change 

and if I didn't eat right

I would spend Eternity 

in Global Warming.

I went back to the counter,

apologized with all my heart,

and said I would like to buy 

the biggest hand fan in stock.
