A Time Bomb Tick Tocks Poem by Doris Cornago

What if we just sit here, not minding each other
Not asking a question, pretending not to hear
The tick tock of a time bomb in our midst
Would all fears disappear with the mist
Clouding our mind, like world peace
Governments pretending to help
With packages of donations
Comes with troops in
Peacekeeping
Stations
Monitoring troops
Of other nations while
We sit here, sipping tepid tea
Making do with prognostications
This and that celebrity did such atrocity
Or bonus points with your groceries, dreams
Peddled by corporations, hold nations, stark reality
