A State of Confusion

A State of Confusion

By Elton Camp

Nobody’s sure just what’s in store
From a situation never seen before

One who thinks he’s man of the hour
Makes threats, but with limited power

From the menacing things he has to say,
He can attack thousands of miles away

Even though it would amount to suicide
Who can know what it is he may decide

When such an attack he does mention,
Is it merely a desperate bid for attention?

Has he the ability to follow through?
It’s impossible to know what he can do

But bluster like this having to face
Makes the world a more scary place
