Anti-Nuke

Call me a fool; But there's a frisson of fear And my nerves get frazzled When I think of Fat Men and Little Boys Breeding like flies. Tiny specks in the sky Promising balmy sun Soon free-fall. A spark of a fulminate - Fission unfizzled Nuclear unclear A thousand suns ablaze, not splendid. A holocaust unleashed from above. I hate mushroom soup Especially if they are in a cloud. And why does the Buddha smile? Notes: Fat Man , Little Boy - Fission Bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima on 9th and 6th Aug 1945 respectively Smiling Buddha - Name of India's first Atomic Bomb tested on 18 May 1974
