What Will They Say?
A festering problem
that long’s been brewing,
while we’ve known all along
what Kim’s been doing;
The world of nations
passed resolutions,
‘midst endless talk
of retribution;
Clinton and Bush
and then, Obama,
all avoided
the inevitable drama;
A play that was written
throughout decades past-
A curtain now rises,
a die that’s been cast,
And unto Trump
to have to deal
with a nuclear nightmare
all too real;
While all the experts
who’ve said “not yet,”
behold the table
which has been set;
What will they say
when the missiles start to fly?
What will they say,
when they’re up in the sky?
Who will they try
to pin the blame on?
and will it even matter,
once we’re all gone?
God help us…
