Nuclear Blast!

The high metal lamp-post had been bent

with the force of the explosion.

Everything below was flat from the blast

nothing left all destroyed.

Though threatened none really expected

nor ever suspected.

 

That somebody would really carry it out

but it was not a nation.

Who radically changed histories course

but an unknown group!

With extreme ideas and limitless reserve

not for them life to preserve!

 

A vast area once a thriving city expunged

radioactive dust settled!

Search for victims and culprits the priority

containment their focus.

The media screens showed endless footage

as anger turned to rage!

 

What had been put forward as a scenario

was there each to see.

Billions watched not ancient newsreels

 

this was the awakening!

They heeded that unity was the solution

or annihilation the conclusion!

 

One hundred years forward war a memory

humans entwined in harmony.

The planet heeled from man’s dissection

yet elements still existed.

Rumbles of  the past savagery simmered

the cycle once more glimmered!

 

The Foureyed Poet.
