A Nuclear Future
The specter of nuclear war haunts the world again
not long after we all thought it might end
As agreements of Reagan and Gorbachev are trashed
the angst of Krushchev and Kennedy streams past…
Today, Iran hungers for the bomb, terrifying everyone
in her recent ‘Twelve-Day-War,’ a nuclear future may have won
Putin speaks casually of using ‘whatever force is necessary’
to render Ukraine a useful ex-enemy…
America’s arsenal’s buried deep beneath the ground ~
in the M-E, ballistic missiles and drones routinely downed
