Devastating Release

The low drone of the plane echoed
Oh no...
The bomb was secured and ready to drop
Dear God...
Unsuspecting souls; things they don't know
Far below
Atomic charge released, suspended
Can't comprehend
This war that raged for so long
Stop!
Whistling down at shocking speed
Peace!
Touched the ground, in an instant
Nonexistent
Vaporized people who no longer stand
Japan...
No soul that could foresee
Such tragedy 
The story of horror known as the second World War
