Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

If and when

July 5, 2026

If and when war would cease,
what would the world be like,
and how would we,
spend our time and would we be carefree,
would we be happier,
would we have more time for materialism,
and would we be more selfish than we used to be,
for if war would cease would the world be,
able to cope with the increase,
in the populations of every country,
and would we have enough food to eat,
would we be more tolerant with our neighbours,
would we listen more or would we argue more,
and would we once again resort to war,
most probably,
but this is not what I would wish it to be,
and I wish I could figure out what is wrong,
wrong with the world's mentality,
for this is nothing new to the world,
and certainly, it is nothing new to me,
but we can but hope,
yet maybe we will have to wait for a meteorite,
a meteorite to destroy most of humanity,
and maybe this will be the only thing to make us see,
that the extermination of humanity is a very real possibility,
and after all the death, maybe we will see,
that getting along is much better,
than the total annihilation of human history.
