So much can occur in a world that is quite awry gone,


Don’t nix this idea with nothing more than a yawn,


Extra water and food is a good bet, the day may come,


When we will be unfortunate enough to see a nuclear dawn…


 


Keep water in your basement, and food in your cabinets,


Extra food around for as well your pets,


If you smoke it might be good to buy extra cigarettes,


All of these items can only help in an emergency,


So you or your family do not have any regrets…


 


As well, you may need heat or fans,


Without power you may find yourselves using your hands,


Cranking out power may not be within your plans,


Though I think a generator couldn’t hurt,


Who knows where a tactical nuke could come from,


Possibly only something with a low yield, though maybe worse,


From the arsenal that may be part and parcel of Iran’s…

The media would like to make us think so, about a nuclear dawn...but in the eyes of this author, it will never happen. Too many untruths being told. The Carlyle Group runs this country. Google it and see who the big crooked players are. The media stains the good life, but it never hurts to stock up on necessities...it's the greed of the utility companies such as Enron who will leave us lightless, not the nuke...buy lots of candles and clean the chimney and freshen the wick on the oil lamp...
