A Thirst For War
Nuclear War
I abhor
The thought of this.
It would be remiss,
To pretend,
Although it is hard to comprehend,
The bomb is capable of world destruction,
Putting an end to greed and corruption,
Nuclear deterrent, Huh!
More like blackmail I fear,
Who will push the button first,
Sadly some powerful people thirst
for war.
No concern for others who die,
And the world cries.
Why?
