'' They're Not The Ones Who Fight '' Poem by Bri Mar

'' They're Not The Ones Who Fight ''



Kim Yong Un and Donald Trump,
Through insults at each other,
That's until one takes the hump,
The outcome? it's we who'll smother.

I'll blow you up you rocket man,
If you don't toe the line,
Of your nukes I'm not a fan,
But mine are just divine.

I'll shoot your planes down from the sky,
Says Un from North Korea,
Common sense does not apply,
When spouting verbal diarrhoea.

A war of words can be misconstrued,
The context is then mistaken,
When their threats can't be subdued,
It's we who'll be left forsaken.

While Trump and Un scurry underground,
Their deathly codes are placed,
In a nuclear war we'll be drowned,
In a sea of atomic waste.

Someone needs to intervene,
Before the world goes mad,
These children should be heard not seen,
Nuclear bombs are not a fad.

When world leaders start a war,
They don't care who's right,
You'll never hear them ask, what for,
Why?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
We are once again on the edge of a precipice due to two so called leaders calling each other names, remember this fact, it's the easiest thing in the world for politicians to start a war, fighting it is a different matter as they get others to do the dying while they scurry off to their safe havens underground.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Cynthia Buhain-baello 27 September 2017

A poem so true about politicians and the prospect of an unexpected war. As it is, one is a provocateur who like to threaten with a display of weapons, while the other is a reactionary, with enough guts to challenge considering the arsenal of weapons the US has. Barking dogs don't bite.

Hotheads, both of them. Someone should have taught them that after primary school, name-calling is no longer cool. Once upon a time, leaders knew how to behave with decorum. Very well-written, Bri.
