The title says it all
WW III

The major powers are raging against one another.
It's time once again for the greatest show on Earth.
It's time for our fall. "welcome one and all."
The worlds cameras turn toward the leaders of both nations
and in unison the say " I declare a thumb war "
I promise you it won't be a bore.
Then the soldiers they charge
toward each other fire and fear in their eyes.
and thus world war three had begun

Sixty two months in and the children have not stopped fighting
neither one has more ground than the other.
both leaders see only one way out. that shiny red button so alluring.
The missiles then fly

A few hours later Washington is gone and Moscow is a crater
a deadly game of submission has begun and before it ends billions will die
the nuclear winter will set in and millions more will be lost.
This is where our train stops just because some idiot threw a rock at another idiot.

Poets Note
this is not fiction this will happen one day man will cause his own down fall
UNLESS we change our ways sometime soon but till then this is our destiny to kill ourselves for now it is the inevitable. If man has the power to kill he will use it with out thinking
