I know this sounds a bit cynical, but I hope you will laugh and think of it as satirical instead.

Cold Warring


The old Cold War is back,
only this time it is hot.
News feeds are burning up,
with stories true or not.

Greed was very good,
for the broke up Soviet Union.
Making billions for the Mafia,
leaving little for the minion.

Business being very very good,
for those who wished to wander.
For those who wished to take a chance,
help rape natural riches and plunder.

Meanwhile, every Russian woman,
wanted to leave the country.
Become a bride and gain some pride,
instead of being tied to bed and pantry.

So now great friends have been cast,
to conquer the world together.
Only to be at each other's throats,
come a new change in the weather.

National security is at stake,
when spies compromise with lies.
Hacking into conspiracies to despise,
manipulative innuendo binds and ties.

Left confused and feeling quite used,
as we listen to the blather.
Our friends are now our enemies,
whatever you like… or rather.

The game goes on and life is long,
the Cold War really doesn't matter.
A single twitch on the nuclear switch,
and the whole thing will go to smatter.

Stark, harsh, and real in spite of your satirical and humorous tone; food for thought for sure. Love and peace to you, Ron.

Middle son was worrying for the future. We told him the fears we grew up with in the Cold War. Didn't ease his present concern, but left me thinking change is brief and uncertainty is endemic.

Well for one I am not scared what will happen in the future of our country as if the nuclear button is pushed we won't know till it is too late or if we end up in a police state I will not have much time left to live in it...you are always writing stories that make me think, satire or humor or politics of philosophy you are a straight shooter that voices his opinion quite well...-e-

Well written. I just told my daughter last night, that I'm worried about her and my grand kids future because I believe the world is going to be a much scarier place, than at any time before in my life, and we lived thru the duck and cover era. Between terrorism and the mass migration of people because of it or because of climate change and wars, I'm afraid we're in for hard times.

I get that feeling too. Interesting poem. I'm reading a book about Nelson Rockefeller, "Thy Will Be Done." I feel like I'm reading about Trump. Nelson did many international scams and always stirred up the Cold War against Russia because his oil companies were threatened by Russia's ability to develop oil production in So. America where Nelson thought he had a monopoly. We all must be aware that these wars benefit the rich and not the rest of us. If we protest, we can keep the earth around for a few more millennium.

The cold war is not a war at all, thank goodness, but a perception. But perception is now reality, so it's as good as war. Yes, the poem was fun and I did enjoy. We shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. Things will happen as they must; we will just have to reap the consequences. It's a universal law of nature. John

Yikes! But possible with current events as they are. Ugh. It's like how I learned to love the bomb. The insanity is so prevalent it has become the norm. What is normal anymore? Crazy egos.

No joke! The world are looking more dangerous than ever,
and full of uncertainty.
I think at this point, we all ought to be praying.
Thanks for sharing, Ron!
