A Poem by keith

read and see

three two one


the cold war fears
answer beckoned call
 from the bearers
of repeated insanity
again, yet again

as children we practiced
duck and cover
our heads between our knees
so we could kiss our a*s
goodbye

not fun then 
not so much now

will we ever learn
or blow ourselves 
into yesterday 
with the same mistakes
the same as today
again, yet again
5
we have no chips 
we have no cards
balk we lose the trust 
of our dead 
while our foe gathers 
strength
4
we lose on the global stage
playing the card we don't have
 while it blows up
in our soon defeated face

three

two bullies of three
equally evil equally insane
able to destroy the other
destroy mankind 
no one knocks on our door
none will answer our call


two


we have played the card
we thought we had
the card we never had
again, once again
once again ... 


one
