Visions

Welcome back to my poetry blog. I hope you enjoy this week's entry. The subject is nightmares. However, while writing it, the topic of war entered my mind. Of how our supposed leaders ignorance & desire to be blinded from what history has already shown us may be our undoing. What I was able to create is a combination of two subjects. Thank you all for your support.

Visions

I close my eyes and I fall into that picture world of thought,
I see bi-planes, U-boats, and then a flash - 1914...I awake,

I close my eyes again, a deep slumber I await,
I see hazard tanks, swastikas, and then a flash - 1941...I awake,

I close my eyes yet again, a long rest now I pray,
I see skirmishes, Agent Orange, and then a flash - 1965...I awake,

I close my eyes once more, nervous to go to sleep,
I see brimstone, nuclear winter, and then a flash - I dare not say what year I see!
