There is always the threat of war in the modern age.
There are small wars and large wars taking place,
Every one of these battles poses a threat to us,
To the planet, flora and fauna and the human race.
There is nuclear stockpiling taking place,
In so many countries around the world today.
Will some crazed world leader launch missiles?
Who knows, and who can really say?
Armies are poised to protect the people.
Countries are prepared for any hint of war.
Politicians babble on about protecting our world,
Yet, almost every land is embroiled in war.
There could be a nuclear war at any time.
Almost every country has its own arsenal.
A fallout and a nuclear winter would occur,
There will be lawlessness in the land fuelled by fear.
Will it be possible to survive the radiation and nuclear blast?
Certainly, take refuge in a structure of bricks and stone.
Wait and listen for information from authorities.
Try to survive to tell the world our human stories.
Further Reading on Surviving a Nuclear Blast:
Most residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived the atomic bomb.
Air raid sirens are silent.
Torn down or rusted.
Stop, duck, cover your head.
The cockroach sings
We will survive.
