Ballad of the Bomb

Megalomaniacs, from any era,
all have the killer extinct gene
A beastly desire to bring everything
to the brink of nothing
Oh, how some would love to channel 
their inner Nero
To make civilization come crashing down
in a smouldering pile 
of rubble, ashes and smoke
They love playing the villain role,
being...

The Bomb Went Boom
Come all ye closely,
'till I tell you a story.
From Ireland long ago.
'Tis about a farmer.

The season was done.
The turf was home.
Stacked against the gable.
To fetch when he was able.

The days became shorter.
The nights became colder.
But cosy was he,
With his mug of tea.

It gave him some...

The Bomb
The sleepy Volcano.
Lies awaiting.
Soon it will erupt.
Spread burning ash.
And molten lead.
All, to perish.
In the dust.


The sleepy Atom Bomb.
Lies awaiting.
To do it's job.
Just a switch of the knob.

In Japan we saw how easy it was.
To spread death indiscriminately.
THERE CAN BE NO REASON.
OR EXCUSE.
For it's use.

We take...

Premium Member Damned By the Bomb
Lancaster formations
One two and three
To attack the dams
Off Industrial Germany
 
Targets to hit
In the Ruhr valley
Power providers
Canal alley
 
RAF Scampton
Near Lincoln they load
This barrelled bomb
Bounced to explode
 
Runway lined
Engines roar
Crews ready 
Tally Ho!
 
Flying low to reach their quest
Allied pilots at their best
Flak explodes all...

Since the end of World War II, it's been relatively calm
Cooler heads have prevailed, methinks coz of THE BOMB
The one that can end it all
Doesn't Kim Jon-Un recall
World War II and the devastation it caused!!!...

After the Bomb
Manchester she is alive
Alive with strength new
New skyscrapers replace old Victorian charm
Charm of Manchester with a burning heart
Heart's and mind's of all and each
Each day is special
Special to all that survived the bomb terror
Terror of a people and an embitterment
Embitterment that has long gone, rejoice
Rejoice...

The Bomb Bomb grille is a great place to be.
This is a nice Italian restaurant in South Philly.
The place has been around for more than half a century.
It’s where to go to try out an Italian specialty.
On the menu, you will see mussels and linguine.

For the devil's joy!...

The Bomb Within
Tick tick tick. This bomb inside is hidden, though breaks all when released. I sit here knowingly, as this bomb ticks slowly towards its burst. Some thoughts are easy to keep in mind, as to slow this ticking down, though it never stops. Tick tick...

The Bomb
I heard today about a bomb
that spares the buildings, 
cremating only the living flesh within.
Why, in our humanity,
do we not have the bomb that spares the tender flesh?
I heard it was because when boys play at war games
only the dead bodies count....

The Bomb
.Boom! Boom! Boom!

Is the sound of the bombs,
Destructive echoes from metalic stumps.

It kills the young.
It kills the old.

With a ravaging sound,
That rises from the ground.

From the evil man's indurate heart,
That is always cold.

With unremorseful force,
It pierces our loved ones.

Leaving us with havoc,
Bloodshed and tears in...

Jesus Be The Bomb

I got this friend name Jesus, last name Christ
He died on the cross, so that we all might have life
He died for blacks, whites, all races that’s why when I kick it with him
I kick it with him on a regular basis
There’s...

The Bomb
My life feels like a ticking bomb, 
threatening to detonate in my naïve face.  
I sit and watch the brightly lit timer as it slowly counts down to zero, 
and resets…

I am always on edge.  
Only this once has the torturous timer run...

Premium Member The Bomb II
To boil with all the energy of Hell
may set aflame untethered wherewithal,
for once expended nothing can foretell
the limits of demise that may befall.
A single match may flicker to a flame
or simply set the whole of Earth afire.
To calculate the fervor sought to tame,
‘tis pure conjecture...

Epic Limerick
There once was a girl named Sabine
The cutest one I’d ever seen
She had curly hair
And a teddy named Bear
And her bedroom was perfectly clean.

Sabine had a brother named Jude,
A generally radical dude,
Who liked to play games
And call Sabine names
Until Mommy said, “Stop being rude!”

Jude and...
