Koreas Ticking Time Bomb

Korea’s Ticking Time Bomb

North and South Korea at arms race heaven, 
a massive number of weapons all waiting to be used – 
tanks, guns and bombs. 

One war was enough but nearly fifty years have passed 
and so it’s time for another. 
North uses Migs and howitzers, South uses F-16s 
and cluster bombs all stockpiled at warehouses and airbases. 

Have these people lost their minds? 
Making law with the barrel of a gun 
thinking that they are gangsters at an international level. 

This is Korea’s ticking bomb, 
with North being the explosive and the South the fuse.
