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.

nuclear bomb
made everyone smarter
by a factor of gazillion.

it transformed ultranationalism
from a serious state policy
into cheap talk for moronic assholes.

the first nuclear explosion
was the birth
of real diplomacy.
