[hometext] => just a little poem a wrote one day...
[bodytext] => 3… 2… 1… Boom! All is gone in an instant. Silence as the dust clears To reveal what remains. Not much, but rubble And nuclear air. Three boys were standing Just over there Spending their money on sweets. To my right was a school And to my left was a church. But all is gone in an instant. An old man was behind me Walking his little dog, But they too are no more. All is gone in an instant. Why? I ask myself. Why did we do this? We had such power in our hands And we chose to kill We chose to use the power for war And now all is gone. All life, innocent and deserving, Sent to heaven and hell. The flood gates have opened To the lands of death. All have suffered Innocent and deserving All in an instant. Now all is lost.
