i used to believe
that nuclear bomb saved us
from the global war
because it is so powerful
that no one dares
to start a real war anymore.

i was wrong.
nuclear bomb only
motivated people
to become more creative
in torturing others.

for example,
imposing sanctions
on people who share a passport
is worse than bombing them.
mass media demonization
of people who share a small part of a dna
is industrialized racism.

the evil remained
and adopted new technologies
much faster than
reason and compassion developed.

at some point
someone will make
the first metaverse country
with its own
passport, taxes, laws, budget,
and people will leave
their shitty physical countries
to join this new
metaverse country.
