3 2 1

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

A unique presentation in form and method. It makes its point and was well composed and written.
