The Atomic Bomb
December 11, 2012
The atom bomb
Byproduct of war
Split its nuclei
And sent Hiroshima's residents
Over 100,000
To Heaven's door
Then on Nagasaki
Similar power shown
Once more
Thousands dead
burning
sick
dying
As rotting flesh and burning hair
Mingle with the air
Made the creator
Robert Oppenheimer swear:
"I have become death, destroyer of worlds"
