Annihilation Nears
Annihilation nears,
Two minutes to the hour.
Is there any turning back,
With lunatics in power.
Where are all the peacemakers,
Surely we must try.
But who can stop the clock,
Before death rains from the sky.
Everyone is posturing
But no one wants to blink.
If no one bears the olive branch,
Humanity is extinct
Hatred feeds on hatred
Is this a one way track,
Two minutes to the hour,
Is there any turning back ?
