"LET US CONTINUE OUR EXCHANGE FOR AS LONG AS WE ARE BOTH ALIVE WHILE OVERCOMING HATRED AND SUFFERING" Takahashi
THE ATOM BOMB
A day in infamy opened an era of hate
From the skies over Pearl Harbor our fleet met its fate
It led to years of war, lost lives, and treasure
Until that most horrid day history could ever measure
The worst of man's inventions was dropped from the skies
Over Japan, not once but twice
Were we really the people to deliver such a blow?
The most questioned act our country would ever know
It did end years of the devastation known by war
An exclamation point, the final score
But sadly I look back upon that most deadly attack
It was not soldiers who died, when atom bombs turned two cities into scrap
I rue the day our country perfected this deadly invention
The most horrific weapon that a Godly people should have never thought to sanction
Why such weapons of destruction must exist is just a mystery
And it was our country who had used it, our blackest mark in history
