THE    NUCLEAR      AGE 
===================
What  bothers you  so  much 
the  'Giants'   of  Science   have  set  the  STAGE 
for   NUCLEAR  AGE
with  so  much  Ease, -   the  NEUTRON- BOMB
will  melt  down    Life  of  you  , me  and  all
through  an  atomic  -  switch. 
 
The  split -second  touch 
the  'Tick  and  Click'  of  some  Political whim 
can  wipe  off    the  human  -life 
So !
you  strife  for  What ? !
 
To  day 
try  in  whatever  way
there  may  not  be  another  Day
Plead  or  pray 
but  all  in  vain
no ' Tomorrow '  -  you  may  see  again
after  that  Neutron - Drop!
 
The  Sun  will   rise   of  course  
 but  not  for  you  or me 
the  World  shall    instantly  a  Graveyard  be 
after  the   Nuclear  Flash 
with  no  more   desire  to  Survive  or  Clash  !
