World War, Overdue

No prophesy, epiphany or convoluted scheme Forecast it’s not. For sure, no joke. And isn’t a pipe dream But something tells me, instinct chimes, we are so overdue For global war, as tensions build, for there are many clue With Pakistan and India, it’s not a soccer match Red China has a grabby hand, conducts another snatch U.S. of A. is causing pain, with strain all the way Against Ukraine – the NK troops, in serious gun play The good ole Europe has no clue - to sh*t or wind the watch And Yemen’s Houthis, aiming hate to go up extra notch Iran and Russia sign pact, strategic, kid you not We drop assistance to Ukraine, it’s nothing but a rot In Tehran, they're building bomb, with scary letter “N” Against Hamas and Hezbollah - combat, no exit plan Islam, it riles every land, to dominate - and will Plus Moscow drones attack Ukraine, to have civilians killed That last world war, forgotten much, is eighty years old And pressure builds, tectonic plates, are barely on hold One stupid move or power play – that’s all it’s going to take Then “Mother War”, an ugly name, uncoils like a snake I should be wrong, I must stay hushed, I want to live in peace Yet waves of anguish, they’re spread by White House mouthpiece What do I know, a little ant, antennas sensing breeze But if you hear, powers be, don’t start a new war, please! * NK – North Korea April 30, 2025
