The Nuke

The wandering clouds, over the Japanese sky With mirth and joy passing by Unknown of the upcoming crisis laugh of folks in merry bliss The birds chirping, blessing good never was it prominent and never it would Soon the clouds turned gloom detonated there, a very huge mushroom "It Is WAR" echoed the west. Unfortunately, the poor had not been blest The west warned, but did not heed the empire was left with bruises and bleed For what was that ancient state? Which got buried inside a crate There was none left to weep The nuke Wrought the area deep, the area so deep Extermination, War and death The ancient Empire took its last breath What did the innocent do who got irradiated in the faithless loo Peasants, workers, poor got wiped The remaining had themselves sniped Once again, said the West- "warned but did not heed! Extermination and death is what we feed." So was said, "Then arose A New Empire" To reincarnate their diminished desire.

Good recount of nuclear war catastrophe. Hope we don't have anymore. Vividly penned. Good job.
