Hiroshima

No one wanted to be the one to

Unleash the beast of devastation,

To be the first…

            First to give the order,

First to fly the fateful craft,

            First to target and release a

Mass destruction never known.

 

Decisions often can be fearful,

Some are near impossible,

To take a life to save a life

In multiples unknowing,

Both enemy and innocent

Reduced to vapor in an instant

Leaving the victor to wave his flag

And to glory in pure triumph.

 

Yet hesitation haunts the cloud

In fountains of uncertainty.

But might is right. The end must be now.

Next target, Nagasaki.
