Poem
8/1/12 Another collab with my history fanatic friend, Justin Connor =) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two nations, the United States and the Soviet Union Both very powerful, Now hold the fate of the world at stake Attempts to overpower the other Only bring fear and trouble the hearts of the people Threat by threat and nuclear bombs Stirred up adrenaline and false alarms Will our lack of unity save the world? Or will it merely produce tension? Once allies in a conflict that involved the world Now fighting each other with words instead of weapons One wrong move from either Could be the next world predicament And if nothing is done More tension will surely arise Liking a quiet bomb ticking away Is the great nations’ cruel silent treatment But no one is keeping it low Everyone knows and fears what lies ahead So who will be the winner—the great? The red, white and blue, or simply the red? Or will Cuba set up a missile tow? To shock the Americans into panic And rush the Russians back into the snow? Now one nation in the Caribbean Will be the center of attention The two superpowers now increase tension Their decisions will decide how the world looks tomorrow As the scare smears their eyes with wars of sorrow How long will the world fight over naught? It is about time to stop the nonsense Not two nations, but two leaders decide to make a deal And realize that it is better to have peace Than to rain fire on the world We realize there is enough turmoil to go around And for now we can all take a deep breath in again But paranoia and tension take years to heal And when we decide to breathe out again, We must expect anything
