The Gay Bomb Poem by Sophie Allyah

The Gay Bomb



In year nineteen ninety-four
US plan something for war
It's a chemical weapon
That emanates deception

Making the enemies gay
To distract while making out
Then attacking without slay
'Tis what this weapon about

T'was worth a million dollar
The bomb was proposed so far
But never put in motion
T'was an antic invention

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The "gay bomb" is a non-lethal psychochemical weapon that a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing. The theories involve discharging female sex pheromones over enemy forces in order to make them sexually attracted to each other.
