Destroyer of Worlds

Pen mightier than the sword, impales upon nothingness for utterances are omnipotent, as a force of nature My one encoded word, now incinerates our entire planet Dear god forgive me, I’ve launched all the nukes.

Your writing is both striking and memorable. We do forget that nations with the power to nuke are always a lingering threat - often hinged on the whims of one leader. Be well. Be safe. Best wishes, Brian

Thank you Brian, hope it never comes to the madman scenario, Was trying to imagine the mindset of someone having to make a godlike suicidal call, of launching the nuclear arsenal, cheers David
