Aimed at Half a World Away by =nyxiathewarrior:iconnyxiathewarrior:



Within guarded missile silos
a handsome military array
intolerance, pride, and fear
point them every which way

Intimidation, scare tactics
nuclear diplomacy
paranoid diplomats preach
"homeland security" fallacy

Mutually Assured Destruction
Earth-cleansing atomic fire
awaiting the press of a single button
at the word of some inane ruler's ire
