Tomorrow Unpromised Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Tomorrow Unpromised



Where would we be
without the bomb
Was Einstein a savior
or devil aplomb
Our power the fire
all enemies dread
Till stealing its physics
unmaking our bed

The world on the edge
of a looming abyss
Missiles entombing
a terrorist wish
Tomorrow unpromised
all time day to day
Eternity waiting
—forever to blame

(Saint David's Pennsylvania: May,2022)
