Nuclear Rain

Written By:  D. Collins 1/7/26

It doesn't matter how powerful a military is.
When there is nothing left to take or give.
Militaries will perish just like the rest of us.
Only then, will they find they weren't that tough.


There'll be no democracies or political gains.
Only remnant leftovers of the nuclear rain.
When superpowers feel they have nothing to lose.
The launching of all nukes will be the thing to do.


There will be no winners left around to brag.
Just an atmosphere of contaminated gas.
Even hiding in bunkers should be abundantly clear.
That you cannot come out for thousands of years.
