"I don't think there's any such thing as an ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon."

- Joe Biden

"Biden described the current standoff over Ukraine, with Vladimir Putin threatening to use all means at his disposal to defend Russia and the territory it has seized in Ukraine, as the most dangerous nuclear moment since the Cuban missile crisis 60 years ago this month."

- J. Borger and J. Rankin - The Guardian 7/10/22

Elephants Trumpeting Peace

Beloved and revered, gentle, peaceable giants

Tons of pleasing, amiable, grey hulk and bulk

Great wonders of the natural world

Magnificent, serene, unique, terrestrial ones.

Uplifted trunks smell the hot, arid, wilderness air

Prized, life-saving, waterholes sourced by impressive muscular snouts

Strong, confident, and loving, the ruler leads her parched kindred.
