By Ron Faust
As long as arms desperately cling to nuclear weapons
We have a dilemma
Our fear shows in the violence of weapons
As long as we keep saying,
Our weapons are safer, better, smarter
We have an enemy, and it turns out to be us
As long as we only rely on force to solve problems
We are not free to walk away or be ourselves
The pride to win skews any diplomacy for peace
As long as we think MAD works
We will have 13000 with overwhelming power
We cannot stockpile or handle the uranium
As long as we are stuck in the human condition
Unable to raise a rational critique of our dilemma
We will shorten the time of the Doomsday Clock
8/7/22 (On occasion to bring attention to the problem of nuclear weapons
and our flirtation with the Doomsday Clock)
