Could Happen Any Time

It won’t be long before nuclear weapons are unleashed is what I feel,
And everyone retaliates against the other the scenario so deadly but real.
Every little country with a nuke can bark as well as bite,
And these new leaders are itching for a fight.

They don’t seem to care about what will happen once they start this game,
This game of death and destruction will have no winners only fools to blame.
Men, women, and children will have their flesh removed from their bones before their
bodies hit the ground.
And those that survive will have it worse because of nuclear fallout all around.

We are on a fast train to destruction unless God intervenes,
But with our wicked ways we are helping to bring on this gory scene.
The world was destroyed once with water but He promised that would never happen again.
But fire and brimstone from the heavens would cleanse us of our sins.

What better description of nuclear weapons can you get,
Than fire and brimstone from the heavens and plans are being made for this you can bet.
How many know how long it takes for radiation to dissipate?
Those that know, know it is longer than we can wait.

Those that aren’t right with God, don’t you think now would be a good time to set your
house straight?
Are had you rather wait until something like this happens and you find you waited too late?

Last line...Or would you rather wait... Friend we have had a nuclear war. Fire has fallen from the sky and incinerated men, women and children. We did it, the USA did it. You might like my verse Sillohuetes on the Stage. Light & Love

You paint a very true and very frightening picture here, Ronald. Fire and Brimstone await us if we don't find a way to make peace with our fellow man and with our Creator. Chilling consequences "can bark as well as bite." Hope your great poem helps serve as a wakeup call to all who need to consider the path we're on. Excellent write, Ronald! Love, Carolyn (And Happy Father's Day to you!)

So very sad and yet so very true. You paint a grim picture and one can only wonder at mankind's foolishness. Well done. Love Heidie
