AT THE GATES OF HELL

Would they make peace? Terrible hell make war.
Shakespeare

Count wisdom as no member of the war.
Shakespeare



AT HELL’S GATES?
AT THE GATES OF HELL?
OR
GATES ON THE DOORSTEP OF HELL?

With this finger
Which I have raised
I won’t malinger
To put out the blaze
Of a Russian Bear
Who won’t alter his ways
And stay inside his lair.
The Cold War
Has just walked
Through the Door,
It’s that time
Once again
For the Earth
To get scared
In its Den.
