World War 3

On behalf of all living things, through the "World War 3" poem below, here's speaking to you with determination, conviction, strength, and power (of the pen) about humans permanently eliminating the possibility of a nuclear holocaust on Earth. For "World War 3" is a poem about joining the battlefield for everlasting peace, goodwill, and prosperity on Earth for all of humankind (despite the apparent conflicting goals of universal prosperity, limited resources, and ecological preservation). Where there exists a will, there exists a way to make it happen.

Since time immemorial humans have waged all kinds of wars

as some were for riches and others were for spoils

There have been wars for religions and wars of attrition

and there even have been wars to overcome tyrannical conditions

And then occurred what has come to be known as World War One

which was a war of immense destruction and arsenals of bombs

The next great human war was known as World War Two

it was a war of untold human casualties and the slaughter of troops

And then came along the icy Cold War debates

which were augmented by brinkmanship, posturing, and a nuclear arms race

Humans have designated themselves as being very wise

but how wise is a species on the path of genocide

Hence, now is the time for World War Three

which is a campaign for life and global unity

Yes, the time now has come for World War Three

which is a war of human unity and everlasting peace

No better time than now is it for World War Three

for this world war goes down as one of world prosperity

No, not a single shot was fired during World War Three

for it is a war of global renewal and better humans to be
