World War 3

 The world is 
         at the tip of
          the sword 
       of Damocles;
    all it takes is just 
        one misstep 
               either 
             by Putin 
               or his 
          counterpart
         Kim Jung Un
 to spark World War 3; 
NATO nation attacked 
               would
       set it  in motion.

This is terrifying to think of too, such powerful words and profound truth woven so meticulously. I absolutely loved reading this and felt every word. I wish this world would be a peaceful place for all.
