Pandora's Box

Written By:  D. Collins 1/3/26


Will we now go after those we do not like?
By labeling them under a "Terrorist" guise.
Will China use something similar to take Taiwan?
And Zelenski go down as a Russian pawn?
Iran has been given the "Locked and Loaded" threat.
Will their current leadership soon be next?
Will the U.S. be "Greeted With Open Arms"?
Or, put Americans in the way of harm?
Will Latin America regress to "Colonial Rule"?
And regime change becomes normal and cool?
The global temperature is about to get boiling hot.
By us opening the lid of Pandora's Box.
Will Peng sit by and allow us to dictate the new regime?
Or call it a direct threat to their national security?
This is nowhere near over. It has only just begun.
And we won't be the only country who is dropping bombs.

Well put, Darrell. We are living in a crazy time. Your poem outlines the tumultuous nature of this nicely.

Thank you, Chris. I'm just seeing things from the "Big Picture" perspective.
