Our Times-Sign of the Times

Soon everything we know will rapidly be changed Into an unfamiliar landscape and a worldwide shooting range Guns pointing in every direction and at every town No inspections will be allowed and best not show a frown Orwellian decrees are issued, as government is a fail False leaders arise; resorting to trickery and blackmail Threat of war becoming constant with each passing day Hot weather rapidly increasing evaporating countless lakes and bays Electromagnetic pulse use likely; these weapons we do store Thoughts no longer of deterrence, but of all out war In a flash, atomic weapons destroy all that we have and stand for Man still is searching for an out, but there is no escape door Extreme earthquakes continue shaking the earth down to its core Sadly, all of this must occur; to allow true peace to return once more

Thanks for stopping by to read my poem, Warren. I always appreciate new readers. Your poem "Signs of the Times" says it all, but, tell me, how and who will bring the peace you mention in the last line? Surely not humans, for they are to blame for the signs of not only our times but the havoc in all times! / Best to you. Maurice

What we decree we will have. I know you know this, and the point of the poem is for others to say it as well. No, we will not go down that road again. Great write!
