World War 3 Poetry Contest
You have the power to crush me
Did you think idle threats would push me
To the brink
If defeat is what you are after
To underestimate couldn't be dafter
Stop to think
You crossed the border
Broke the code
Your action empty, loveless showed
This territory is sacred ground
The heritage of generations found
Solidarity and loyalty owed
And now we stand in unison
You fight each woman, daughter, son
Cowardly at best..
Is this test of selfish resolve.
We protect the ones we love
Against the bullying shove
Our goal is peace
What cost until hostility will cease
Depends, depends on you and me
Save tears and fears
For years and years
Desist with World War III
