The tension built

And still

Is building with

Every bomb

That is dropped

Every gun

That is shot

Every missile

That is fired

We’re already

So tired

And it’s only

Day three.

Barriers are being

Broken down,

Bridges are being

Blown,

Roads are being

Barricaded,

Are asking

“Is this

The beginning

Of World War III?”

And it’s only

Day three.

Chernobyl

Has been captured,

The sky lights

Like fire,

Blazing with the

Death tolls rising,

Never-ending

Punches rolling,

And none of us

Find this

Surprising.

And it’s only

Day three.
