The hand on the nuclear button <br />Is held by a mind that is sick <br />The eyes that keep it focused <br />Is blurring and quite myopic. <br /> <br />What danger lurks ahead <br />If suddenly the brain has seizures! <br />Will the hand move past the head <br />And press on the nuclear fixtures? <br /> <br />Will that hand lose all control <br />And release the demise of earth <br />Blow us up, one and all <br />And burn even all the dirt? <br /> <br />The hands on their nuclear buttons <br />Have so turned a push to shove, <br />Their tempers have been turned on <br />Start praying to God above.<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hand-on-the-nuclear-button/
