Cold War
You spiked my drink,
I poisoned thine.
You pulled a dagger,
I swung a halberd.
You threw a grenade
And I threw a bomb.
This might have been a story between Russia and the United States
But is it a story of you and me?
Is it the story of Democrat and Republican?
Is it the story of Christian vs Atheist?
What if:
You spiked my drink,
I simply gave you water.
You pulled a dagger,
I gave you a teddy bear.
You threw a grenade
I baked a pie!
There are decisions to make when we don’t agree,
One path leads to war,
One path leads peace.
