In A Nuclear War

In a nuclear war, we all lose We behave like dead fools Our world is feeble and fragile We must care for it like a special tile Let's have a heart Let's not start Anything deleterious to our health Remember that we cannot take the wealth With us to our final destination Like it or not, there is one earth, one ocean One world, one people, one sky and one nation Divided into tiny particles Small parts and strange articles In a nuclear war, we become nothing And self-destructed. We are not even a thing The cockroaches become the rulers And human beings, the strange followers Whatever happened to science, to evolution To creativity, and to the new revolution? In a nuclear war, we all lose Allies, enemies, friends and foes. Copyright © June 2018, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
