Atomic brinkmanship double edged sword of Damocles

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 73

Grisly bared horror jawbones Kristallnacht
totalitarian brandishes, flaunts, launches

global threat half ed.

 

Vladimir Putin itching

to loose nuclear bomb

end of the world scenario ofttimes

iterated throughout history

though an atheist (actually Unitarian),

no doubt this, that or another psalm

countless times the Bible

references Armageddon and doomsday

impossible mission to remain

cool, collected and calm.

 

Whether affiliated with donkey or elephant

Democrat or Republican viz

blue war red respectively

political hot issues don't amount
?to a (Sam) hill of beans

when Sword of Damocles count

approaches zero hour

as global tensions mount

 

signaling increased chance

trigger finger will free?avast nuclear winter

(across world wide web) re:

leasing plethora, pyrocumulus

mushroom clouds tree

 

mend us planetary explosions

annihilating webbed wide? world, an irrevocable

indeed earthlinked debacle?
spelling widespread species

multitudinous extinction?
ex post de facto after super

bowling powers (wannabe) vied

 

to wrest empowerment spanning

entire realm sans third rock?
from the father, sun and holy ghost,

who turned substantial pockets
of flora and fauna

once populating oblate spheroid ad hoc
??significant swaths of life forms

pulverized and/or turned to ash?
transformed into radioactive wasteland
giving T.S. Eliot a run for his money

after war mongers brash

lee usurped hegemony

(ruling inhabitants

of Gaia with an iron fist?
with a smidgen of flavoring

courtesy of Missus Dash

 

superfluous taste enhancer,

when sibling burnt offering views

between Venus and Mars incendiary

tolled mourning news

smithereens sole remnant

poisoned every square inch?
from weapon of mass destruction

 

that did (akin to doubting Thomas) cruise

engendering thick noxious fog

disabling fox but not roach
?while smoldering seas and continents
?skull and crossbones didst poach?
amidst the gasified, liquified, pureed

where holographic ghoulish super bowl coach

 

rendering lifelessness home for menagerie?
where virtue trounced vice as organisms

(particularly one primate) didst try?
(predominant 21st century simians)

tool heave with amity, comity, and empathy

animals and plants an experiment

that went awry

 

presaging a nuclear winter with nary a winner
?implicating mankind as the absolute sinner

instantaneously after Doomsday Clock

signaled point of no return?
where grim reaper the sole grinner

feasting on human flesh for dinner.

A profound poetic rendering of the assessment of the present-day Putin nuclear winter seeking to "footnote" Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev in Russian History. While Putin's Sword of Damocles will truly fall down on him, ironically, so many others have, and so many others will also be victims. Love the flow of this awareness rendering. Great flow, true to the title. Thanks for the share. ONE. Peace and Love
