Facing World War Iii
Not so likely we’re facing World War III
Of course, I could be wrong, wait and see,
No one wins when a nuclear bomb flies
Nobody gains! -- if the whole world dies.
What good is all the money in the world --
Yachts, planes, luxury homes flags unfurled?
If human beings cannot on the planet thrive
In that case, I’d just as soon not be alive.
It seems foolish to me to worry about a hit
When I cannot do a solitary thing about it.
So, I will continue to go about my affairs
If a warning siren blasts, I’ll go downstairs
Where for the duration I think I can subsist
I know of nothing else to do except to exist.
