the Iran Nuclear deal.

I say,

blow up the world. Turn the Kansas corn fields

into National Geographic magazine covers

full of no advertisements. Then lay calm on

the sand you turned to winter ice,

and watch the sky curve

loose of aphonia-lace or philodendron.

And of course i'm being

facetious

since my daddy told me

of the moon that Oppenheimer saw

thru those stacked glasses. The one's

where he gave comparison to the

Hindu prince while the engines of the B29's were revving. That once the atom is split,

it's handsome hearing set alite

it's silver wash-bloom, racing thru the Sunday sky.

It will be too late for the God on my nightstand

to hear me.

Mostly, we go about our daily lives without great regard to the fact that despite all the rhetoric, there remains hidden away enough firepower to turn this little blue dot into a lifeless husk; and we perhaps give even less thought, (it being an uncomfortable notion to dwell on,) that one day, some fanatical and itchy trigger finger may finally obtain the means to visit unholy death and destruction on all of mankind.

Sadly, for the now, Panem et circenses still rules the day, but not everyone is taken in and these eerily prescient lines speak the truth; and as WK commented, this poem is the only thing really worth listening to.

The world powers may posture and preen all they like, but once that first atom was split, there was no going back.

'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds,' The little mouse knows this to be true, as does our creator.

This is an amazing write. The flow and just the straight forwardness of your words was great to read. Hopefully it never does happen but I get the feeling before I die we will see something crazy. Nice work :)

Expertly written. North Korea is threatening to nuke soon. All these nuke threats are becoming old hat and the rhetoric is ever flowing. Hope I'm outta here if one of them takes too much xanax one night.

You capture the nuclear horror in a novel way.

It intrigues me to understand better what is behind 'Since my daddy told me of the moon that Oppenheimer saw thru those stacked glasses. The one's where he gave comparison to the Hindu prince while the engines of the B29's were revving' ?

I heard that God threatened to stop holding my hand last night, I think that might be almost as devastating, if not more, than anything Iran might dish out.

As pundits and Senators bluster and preen, you write this, and only one of the aforementioned is worth listening to.

I have tuned out all the pundits, and since the Senators have been AOL, I shall carry on..
Thank you my dear friend.....dana
