A Second Cold War?

America has the most of all,
11.000 and counting in there stores.
Russia is standing on their second spot,
8.000 they have already got.

China 400, France 350, England 212
And on who's behalf?
Pakistan, Israel, North-Korea and India have 200 or more,
But whatever for?
Seeing their greed feed on more and more.

Is it the same reason as in 1961
When the Cuba crisis had begun
Will this take another 40 years (or so).
Where time takes it toll to shed her tears?

Iran also wants to fight
To parade her 'nuclear' might
However, it will take them a few years maybe
to blacken skies so that Israel never sees.

But Iran, how stupid can you be
For Israel is your neighboring country!
So, If you insist on lighting our skies,
Then you may kill your own by foolish try.

So, this is not a threat we have to fear.
for there will hate draw others near'
Terrorists are not afraid of drawing blood
They want to die on barren soil
And where security fails in our toils.

More arms means bloodied nights
How simple can it be.
Reducing conflicts is the key,
Longing to be forever free.

i picked this because it was the least reviewed of your works (road less travelled).

it was STRONG, i liked it. i'm american -- we are neither villains nor heroes -- same with iran, china, israel, palestine -- just PEOPLE, with crappy governments screwing everything up :(

Nice poem, Valerie, and how appropriate for the world we now live in. America took the right step to right our wrongs when we changed Congress. Thanks for the poem!

Nice work,enjoyed the poem. Quite a surprise for me as i usually deslike all poems. All those missles really are pointless..
