Sunflower Seeds

We have the atomic upper hand
and Putin knows it well
how we might burn his motherland
back into stone age hell.
 
Some say that NATO is to blame
or even just Ukraine
in restarting the cold war game
of brinksmanship insane.
 
The annuls make it very clear
that borders make the state
where tyrants play with human fear
and weapons mixed with hate.
 
It's been this way since who knows when,
our ploughshares bent to blades,
homogenizing all the men...
with Earth to Earth in spades.
