A Nuclear War Is Really Dumb

Everyone agrees that war is cruel Everyone agrees that war is suicidal Everyone agrees that war brings mortar, anger Hunger, pain, suffering, death, horror and terror But a nuclear war is deadlier, nastier and bloodier More painful, more criminal, more diabolical More devastating, more witless and more evil Human being was born to put things together To build, not to annihilate and not to murder God created humans to make the world better Not to destroy, not to burn or to shatter A nuclear war would be a total disaster No human is really dumb to have such a war Let's swear not to have a darn one. We can roar Like lions to scare off the tigers. We can fistfight All we want. The best way to test our might Is to dialogue, to talk to each other like humans To avoid the ruins and to find lasting solutions.
