Warren Doll Poet Free verse

On The Verge

On The Verge

Beady eye, horse riding dictator
Replacing peace with violence
Using conventional weapons against 
A sovereign, democratic nation

His wanderlust and ideologic hatred
Remain unabated

Now beginning to see non-edible mushrooms
Rising in the sky
On the verge of world war
Inevitable retaliation

Fire, destruction, and death globally
Nuclear winter to follow

No winner
Senseless
Destruction of our world
