Poem
Bells from church to cathedral rang out the chorus of screams in every street echoed the cheering death of millions as confetti rainbows came falling ticker-tape parade from a sky of joy ashed smoke rained down in tears Champagne corks burst a parties barrage of bombs and wine flowed the blood over daughters and sons a dance of tombstones to bless the survivors cause and to applaud the rater-tat-rater-tat-ratter-tat of victories drums the bright banners of missiles whistled over them In such a heroes cavalcade decorated the gold of napalm in the body-bags of freedoms fiesta explosions of fireworks shatter the bones of machine guns and over the graves spilled the laughter of everyone All the flags of the nations floated bravely in their sea of lies all wafted to triumph on winds blown heated through Hiroshima celebrate the hour of undefeated in the corpses surrender to count the unknown faces in the smiles of another too drunk on relief to remember the cost of life and the party of bullets raged on through the night Praise your curse to securities uplifting and babies of dust in rubble are born the faceless injustice you so premeditated to a murderous allegiance your anthem is sworn Bells from church to cathedral rang out the chorus of screams and wine flowed the blood over all their daughters and sons celebrate the hour of undefeated in the corpses surrender applauding the rater-tat-rater-tat-ratter-tat of victories drums children of dust in rubble are born in the body-bags of freedoms fiesta
