The Doomsday Clock 2 Min To Midnight
2 minutes to midnight -
A nuclear weapon of mass destruction
has been set off coming down from the dark
heavens heading a collision to spark
on part of the world spreading obstructions.
Direct destruction throughout cities by
the nuclear blasts; there isn't enough warning
to evacuate. There isn't anything
we can do. "Lord, grant us the strength to die!"
We sit huddled together embracing
whispering, I love you to each other.
That's the part that stings most; undercover
of the dark knowing what we were facing.
We never know how long we have in life;
we need peace between countries free from strife.
