Sobriety of War


I pull! You push! It's the tug of war Dodging bullets! Offence avoiding trenches, Defense dancing around land mines. The threat of nuclear? A surprise! What next? The A-bomb, missiles and The father of all bombs? Muddy water, polluted air and poison gas Let's pack on sanctions! The world is building tension And people are scarce - The smoky, cloudy, smoldering heat Marks the end of the world
