Will this world be blown apart by nukular war.
Will we survive

Will this world be blown apart by nukular war
The fire sleeps,
hidden in steel,
waiting in silence,
waiting in fear.
One wrong word,
one wrong move,
a finger falls,
and the sky breaks.
Children laugh,
streets are calm,
yet shadows stretch,
above their heads.
We build destruction,
we call it strength,
but is strength measured
by ruin alone.
The soil still remembers,
ashes still whisper,
rivers still carry
what war has left.
How much is enough,
how many graves,
before the hunger
for power ends.
The world is fragile,
a breath, a spark,
it can be shattered
in one dark hour.
So will we learn,
will mercy rise,
or will the fire
consume us whole.
The earth is waiting,
the sky still holds,
the choice is ours,
before it folds.
History cries out,
voices are warning,
we walk to the edge,
or we turn back now.
God save us all please 🙏

I've been writing poetry since the age of fourteen. With pen in hand, I wander through realms unseen. The pen holds power; ink reveals hidden thoughts. A poet may speak truth or weave a tale. You decide. Let pen and ink capture your mind❤️

For God is the answer to these ideas you have presented in this sad and depressing poem. Good job.
I like how your poem captures the apprehension behind this feared possibility. Nicely written
