In A Nuclear War Poem by Hebert Logerie

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.
