Don’t Put Britain on the Nuclear Frontline - A poem by Ann Garrett, Bromley CND

US nukes at Lakenheath make us vulnerable to a nuclear attack

NATO expansion draws us nearer to nuclear Armageddons night most black

Nations seem oblivious of possible annihilation

as they are addicted to arms sales proliferation

Arms dealers inexcusably irresponsible in their profit–driven world

ensure nearer the inevitable road of destruction we are hurled

Trident renewal is high on the Governments agenda

ignoring campaigners cries to de-escalate and surrender

Drones and missiles are being indiscriminately fired as conflicts increase

There is now a danger of greater tension with little hope of peace

Britain is irrevocably on the nuclear front line

Millions of peace doves need releasing before we run out of precious time
