End of Silence - Extra Credit (Hiroshima/Nagasaki Bombing Assignment)

Silence breaking
Lives ending
Explosions taking place

Don’t let it phase you
Dear Japan
Hiroshima preserved your existence

Sweet Nagasaki
Open your eyes
Because tomorrow they’ll be eternally shut

Kokura and Niigata
Beseech us on your knees
For you are the alternate choices

“Enola Gay”, lay upon Hiroshima your kiss of death
And “Little Boy”, oh beloved uranium, wrap them in your embrace
Convince Hirohito to stop our tirade

But “Bockscar” and “Fat Man”, should those two fail
Take Nagasaki under your wing
Surely Hirohito will be persuaded by you and the 135,000 lives you have claimed
