Hi Sax
I'm glad to see someone posting a poem like this. I have had one spinning around in my pointed noggin for a while now. Can't seem to put it together.
Our world is getting sicker and sicker all the time. And September didn't help much with all those terrible hurricanes laying waste to the Caribbean. We sure don't need Trump and Kim Jong-un tweeting each other to death, threatening nuclear war. There's enough blood being shed with crazy terrorists running around.
Good entry for the ABAB poetry contest. Good Luck in the voting booth!
cheers

Comment from Cybertron1986
A sensitive subject, but well presented truthfully with a deep insight of today's current conditions. I enjoyed the sophiscated rhyme scheme and implication that sometimes (correct me if I'm wrong) truth can be inconvenient. A much needed poetic presentation for today's world.

People are in the position to handle issues of national security. I realize people who don't think like Americans, for some reason, what to die. I can't wrap my head around that but I like to believe our security people know what to do if or when they see a real threat to our national security. I share the same fears your poem expressess.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi RP - a well written poem in abab form. The subject matter is very relevant to the situation in the world today. Who knows what a 'crazy rogue' might do - and the retaliation could be catastrophic. Appropriate picture - well done and good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
It is very worrying that two important, powerful people have worked up an aggression so strong that we wonder if one of them will press that awful button. Your poem highlights what is happening in the world today. Not nice! Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sadnra xx

Well written poem depicting the current tense situation with North Korea and it's constant threats.
Contest requires ABAB format. Some strong rhyming words used.

We are living in very scary and unsettled times that is for sure friend. I think your well written poem highlighted the present global crisis that does not seam to have any light at the end of the tunnel, which is borderline insanity.

The art work is so real
for these words written
The world is becoming
a world of cruelty and death
towards others.
Love existing within the world
is slipping very quickly
Maybe no earth left in the future.

"The Effects Of A Nuclear Bomb" is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to reading your next post. To me, this is a definite six.
