David Kavanagh Poet Free verse

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. 


From my poem 
Most dangerous call ever made,
