Ode to Nuclear war

Tactics different than before

No more need for many men

No more need of reason then

Joy was born over Japan's loss

Now warfare has a bigger boss

Manhattan's child was the nuke

Such a weapon could be a duke

Useless Fists

Useless Swords

Useless Bows

Useless Guns

Useless rockets

All bow down to the mighty A-Bomb

Cold War the first to come

Two powers had doomsday under thumb

But what is next on the menu de nuke?

Will it make us all puke?

What once was one is many

What once was exclusive is inclusive

More wars to come, a final if any

Our end will be anything, but elusive

Men of god hold our fate

An endless war now rages

Diplomacy may be too late

Leaders have put down their wages

Appeasement will be our end

Our society will no doubt bend

Oh, bright radiation light

Signal Omen of the final night
