Poetic-Verses
'' The Last World War ''
Survival is king,
Has a beautiful ring,
It's a concept of the human race,
Think of the joy we could bring,
If only we'd talk face to face.
We put on a show,
A faηade, a glow,
Pretending that our world is good,
The facts are that the majority know,
As Humans we relish a feud.
Peace in our time?
Sounds so sublime,
Though we've never had it for years,
Our hypocrisy should be classed as a crime,
We watch as our victims shed tears.
Those selling arms,
Turn on the charms,
As they show off their latest editions,
Barbaric weapons should set off alarms,
Their biggest clients are our politicians.
Humans are dying,
Families are crying,
Our intelligence I'm afraid is no more,
It's to our own species we have been lying,
Utter madness springs to the fore.
The situation's assessed,
World leaders possessed,
They're pondering who'll fire first,
Simultaneously the red buttons are pressed,
For genocide we do have a thirst.
They'd have you believe,
Nobody should grieve,
Conflict they all claim they abhor,
In truth they don't care who they bereave,
As we embark on,
' The Last World War '
