Hibakusha
By Lady Poetry
Hibakusha!
Tibbets.
Shadows fell at eight fifteen.
Shadow of a 'little boy'
As if a camera exploded.
Flash it went.
Pagoda tall standing, once upon a time.
A desecrated ground, unholy.
No fiery fairy tale in this place.
Death's location
Eerily sensations surround.
Destructive force hit home.
No eagles fly.
In this eerie place.
A silent world sleeps.
As mother weeps.
Not by choice.
Living screams a revelation.
A human created Armageddon.
Piles of smoke seen at the scene of evil.
Mega-mushroom killed the skies.
Most of humankind in this land felt its force.
Death as it cruised it's certain course
Zombies walk.
One or few.
The activity of war.
Now won.
Revenge bit back.
Severely.
Buried deep in the victim's skin.
And still the fever grew.
Under skin of souls.
Almost peeled.
Severe pain as landscape diffused into the land.
Creature of the bomb demonic.
Silhouetted dead men.
Painted standing structures.
Such sickness in a place laced with fractured glass.
Ultimate act of war.
Bring on power of peace.
