Hiroshima
Peace
Fight for peace
our sacred honor
arrows fly
piercing armor
piercing amor, pride in
full measure
wrath, revenge,
coiling paranoia
bayonet strong
Toddlers play,
unarmed, unwary
skeletally still
bared secrets slipping
from space and time
Scorching pinprick holes
in heaven's fabric
petrified souls thrust to
premature rebirth
Hellfire ripped from metaphor
scream-echoing
palpable texture,
daring phantoms,
death's brigade
Crying "Peace!"
-- unheeded command
because real glory
belongs to destruction
