And It Didn't Come to Pass

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: May 31, 2009

Attempting to digest North Korea's nuclear tests…

Like diarrhea, North Korea's
claims are more than gas.
We are misled to buy the lie
their tests have come to pass.
 
Like diarrhea, North Korea
could strike without alarm.
And worse than simply stomach flu,
that would spell global harm.
 
Like diarrhea, North Korea
must be kept in check.
To just pretend that all is well
could blow us all to heck.
 
So what's our option to deter
the likes of Kim Jong Il?
Perhaps a missile whose warhead's
a Kaopectate pill.
