North Korea Escalates, No Longer Aloof

The North winds blow, tensions grow
Across the DMZ lines that divide
While propaganda fills the airwaves
Drums of war begin their beat

From mountain peaks the cries echo
As soldiers march in lockstep stride
While in Pyongyang the rhetoric raves
Leaders thrust their fists to meet

Nuclear threats are seeds of unrest
That spread and choke diplomacy
Peace now hangs by fraying threads
As missiles stand aimed, ready to fire

Constant vigilance is the test
And skillful acts take bravery
So cool heads must prevail instead
To douse the flames of rising ire
