A NEW CLEAR THREAT (POEM)

                                  The new clear threat 
                                  To destroy ourselves
                                  To poison the world
                        With guns, bullets and radioactive death

                                   A new clear threat 
                                   Childhood dreams 
                                   A beautiful life 
                          Please don’t end it all in screams

                                   A new clear threat
                            A symbol of society’s distress
                            That sickness must forever rest
                            The ever-present nuclear threat

                                   A new clear threat 
                               There is power in dissent 
                                 Our dreams, love, life
                        Must not be thrown away at powers behest.
