Grey Victory

there was light and atomic fission
 swelling wind
 rising ash
 tide of black rain
 cement seared shawdow traces
 reminiscent of their last commands
 instantly one thousand flames arising
 ill scent the burning hides surrounding
 a settlement debased entirely
 enola gay had made a casual delivery
 please build a future, darling
 with our bomb
 cherish and love it
 for the sake of
 earth bound kingdom come
 the undersides of fallen metal trusses
 evil debris of human bodies
 each window's glass shards pelted
 secure confines
 brittle collapse
 neighbors lay beside
 each other unknowing
 faces scorched of all familiar bearing
 too few hands
 many wounds for closing
 marred by
 thirsting
 anguish
 fear lamenting
 here we stand
 at the door to gold atomic age
 don't spoil your face with worry
 trust in
 earth bound kingdom come
