Writing Welcome To The Cold War

[Brasil]

?Welcome To The Cold War, Welcome?

New warnings
New threats
Same message
Time for the fallout shelters
Time for all hell to break loose
Welcome to the Cold War,
Welcome to the Cold War,
We hope you enjoy your stay,
We didn't think it'd happen twice,
We really didn't plan for it
But it's here, and we're here
And we're the ones dealing with it
It's a Cold War,
Cold War
Cold War
How did they feel back then,
When they had a specter over them
They were told, Welcome to the Cold War
Welcome to the Cold War.
Fallout shelters and the rest
Should we duck and cover?
What's going on around us?
It's a Cold War,
Cold War
Cold War
Will the shots be fired?
We're not quite sure
But we're hoping that they won't be,
Because it's a different Cold War
Will it ever end?
We're not quite sure
But welcome to the Cold War,
Come inside, come inside

[COLOr=royalblue]Humorous writing about a very non humerous period of world history. Interesting.

I studied the Cold war.....1950 to 1986............boring in some places, fascinating in others. Gotta love Ronald Reagan.[/cOLOR]

Thanks for reviewing, Raiha. I didn't mean for it to be humorous, but hey, it spoke to you and I'm glad. I had a few different things running through my head when I wrote that. I think one ideal was a haunting repetition of "welcome to the Cold War." I wanted to portray an off-kilter beat of staggered accents to throw the reader off. Cause when I thought about it, that's really what this entire Cold War was doing: throwing people off balance.
Glad you enjoyed it.
