The
cold beast from the north
Became
colder when he and China had their revolutions.
After
the great global wars
Soviet
and American became enemies.
Totalitarian
Soviet dictator
Democratic
American president
Dropped
the iron curtain
Splitting
the Germanies and Berlins.
Democracy
and Communism.
Locked
in a frozen war.
An
arms race
Made
the mushroom proliferate.
New
breeds were developed.
Each
one more powerful than the last.
We
sold our souls to end the war.
The
threat of hellish fire was the price we paid.
Each
side had the bomb now.
There
was always the chance of annihilation.
The
clock on the magazine
Told
the time
Counting
the minutes to Doomsday.
More
countries caught Communism.
It
spread like an evil red disease
With
that came the bomb.
Everyone
wanted the bomb.
Everyone
thought their country would benefit.
The
United States and Britain needed quarantine.
They
sent spies.
The
other side sent spies too.
Democracy
was a disease to Russia.
Governments
became quiet with secrets.
People
questioned what was going on.
Iron
eating moths of mistrust nibbled into their curtain
They
watched each other through their holes
As
the fog of paranoia flowed out into the land.
