Dad, mom, girl and boy
dig a shelter under their house,
stock it with canned foods,
water jugs, a shotgun, two
semi-automatic rifles, ammo
and a shortwave radio
They dream themselves a cave
with a large moveable stone
blocking the entrance
under an invisible convex shield
called Star Wars
that hovers above their roof
to protect them against
incoming missiles and bombs
The temperature will always be
68 degrees and their laptops
charged by generators
powered by solar energy
and a secret power source
to be discovered soon
by holy men in the desert
The children will sleep well now
knowing that 9/ll only happens
in places inhabited by those
who have turned away from
the gods of their fathers
