Curtis Johnson Poet Prose Poetry

MAD

Once upon a time;
Some time after I was born.
There was a treaty between two nations.
The treaty was supposedly mankind's best
Bet for survival.

I'm not certain if the treaty still exits; but I am
Certain that The reality of potential  destruction
Is as real as it ever was. This treaty  was known as "MAD"-- Mutually Assured Destruction. 

These nations proceeded to amass weaponry
Rather massively to, in my view, the point of insanity. Perhaps there are those that give
Credit to 'MAD" for saving us from destruction.
Personally, which ever direction I turn in search
Of heroes, ideology, or philosophy; regardless
Of my politics and opinions; I credit God.

I have never imagined that destruction  was
Avoided because of the treaty between them.
I can only believe that in many and various
Ways, it is God who holds our world together

Left to our own selfish ideas and devices, with
Or without 'MAD", mankind would have vanished
from planet earth were it not for God's grace.
