Wwiii Maybe?

If I said the idea of making 'The War To End All Wars' a trilogy scared me I would certainly be lying We've come so close to WWIII over the last four years That I have long since conquered my fear of dying That's not to say that the idea of it isn't constantly Looming in the back of my mind Or that I don't sometimes dream of men in trenches Maddened by gun fights Our economy is fragile And after Covid so is every other aspect of the world And so it wouldn't exactly come as a shock to me If another World War were to unfurl The possibility of war is a never ending issue One that will supposedly be solved by our "perfect" politicians But I wouldn't trust any of them to watch my drink at a bar Let alone with nuclear weapons I will say this, One thing that does frighten me about World War III Is that our weapons of mass destruction have evolved ten fold since the last one This time who knows what the casualty count will be We are holding our breathe at a global level Each nation is on their toes Peering over borders Trying to catch a glimpse of the initial blow Everyone is preparing for a war That may or may not happen They're buying rations and building bunkers And throwing around conspiracies like it's the new fashion The mass hysteria surrounding the possibility of WWIII is intoxicating I can't imagine the amount of fear and panic that it could invoke This will or won't be battle has only one outcome It will begin and end in an all consuming cloud of smoke
