Armageddon

At a time like this, we need to remember We can annihilate ourselves in an instant A fact I think these aggressive war mongers Don't get, their actions are so flagrant They fail to see past their dirty big noses These egotistical self centred maniacs So scary to think we're totally at their mercy Their capable of devastating attacks The only thing stopping them I certainly hope The realization the aggressor dies too A totally senseless and barbaric act No one gains and everyone gets screwed It certainly isn't me I'm thinking about Happy with the path that I've taken All those young'uns with their whole lives ahead Must be constantly in fear of armageddon Why must it constantly be on our minds Since a child, it certainly hasn't been perfect Too old to expect to ever see the day When we witness an end to these conflicts

So much needless hate in our world today. Greed and power have made many like rabid animals. Thanks for sharing the feeling from your heart, Jack. Bill

"So much hate" no question! It's the nature of us so called "human" beings! Absolute crime against nature and all that's civilized! Jack

Worrying times indeed Jack. As you say the only saving grace is whether they would want to press the button that will kill themselves? I do worry about prodding the hornets nest too much though and whether our leaders are sensitive enough to the fine line they tread!! Ron

Very well said Ronald! It certainly is a fine line we tread! Pressing that button could end it all... cooler heads MUST prevail! Jack

They should all chip in to hire a hit man to shoot that dog Putin. Correction, he's not a man. Tom

Will it ever come? I wonder. "wars and rumors of wars"...forever, I suspect. There will always be a Putin here or somewhere. Hitler seems to reincarnate himself from the pits of hell!

You are so correct my friend! It's been way too long since the "last" Hitler! Putin never appeared to be that one! How wrong can we be!!!

Jack, remember the movie "IT'S A MAD MAD MAD WORLD".......Mutually Assured Destruction....MAD... if that's not a serious enough deterrent then start digging the hole. I remember those "AIR RAID DRILLS" back in elementary school.

Since World War II we have been relatively safe from major conflicts! This looks like a big one again!!! As individuals we sit here allowing the world to take us to the brink AGAIN!!! WOW it's been about 70 years... it's DUE!
