The Final Count Down

Did you hear it? 
Or perhaps you saw the flash

There is no more use for cash
I remember the man saying almost
praying that the end is near

Funny how I have no fear
No time to dwell
Will it be heaven or hell?

And who made the decision 
to finally push that button? 

There is no one left to blame
It truly is the end of the game...

To all my Poetry Buddies, before you think I have gone over the top with this. Please note.. I am trying out different forms of Poetry, this particular poem is called "Burlesque" Poetry that treats a serious subject ridiculously, humorously, or simply trivial. ~Smiles~

Oh dear I hope not yet. Something to think about however. Maybe North Korea? Thank you for reading and commenting. Love, Joyce

It will either be a conflict in the East or Far East, or some strayed Uranium will be exploited. Until that time, Governments have a duty to uphold >> James :)
