"Limited Nuclear War"

"Limited Nuclear War"

A Poem by Dith

"Limited Nuclear War"
On oblivion of stupor
A gilded age at its knees
A euphemism for every death groan
Nuclear experts speak language of abstraction
Silenced from the death groans of nuclear earth
The abstraction of language
The representation of reality, but not reality
Accounts for this
One need not be affected by reality
When professional jargon annihilates
The very vocabulary of the war victim
Abstractions cannot represent observable reality
The utmost test of logic
Is in the world in which we live

Very nicely done. What it lacks in aesthetic it makes up for in philosophy. Was a Nash equilibrium alluded to in any part of this, or no?
