3. Ah, the "Second Coming" poem. I'm so glad

I'm not a person of faith, or the vision of Trump with access to the nuclear trigger would have me tying up loose ends here on earth.

Many around here see only signs of the end all around, never anything hopeful. They just don't understand why it hasn't happened yet, and many live in a state of anxiety over this. Then there are the 30 million or so Americans Pew identified who are eager for the end, most looking forward to going out in fine, righteous style via nuclear religious war, but I figure there's probably a lot of overlap.

Btw, as soon as Trump is officially the nominee, the CIA starts giving him daily briefings. Hearing that caused me my own twinge of anxiety. Wouldn't it be great to be a fly on the wall at Langley as they discuss Trump, though?
