Years After the Bombs
Its been many years
Since the bombs did their worst
As they exploded worldwide
In radioactive burst
Our cities lie flattened
Where once they were tall
Their population thriving
Now in radiation withdrawal
The lands lie poisoned
Where nothing much grows
As much of life
Is in extinction froze
Even the skies
Look so different than before
In bloodied red shades
Like wide open sores
Whats left of us humans
In walking decay
Our bodies misshaped
As evolution replays
Our newborn grotesque
In radiation mix
Will our world recover
From this river Styx
Our once lovely planet
Of green rolling hills
Fields of greens
And harvest crop spills
What can i say
There isn't much else
As i lay here radiated
A shadow of myself
Soon it will be dark
And i will eventually sleep
For every-time i look around
I internally weep
