Nuclear Holocaust



The world is burning bright,
It is not the sun which gives this light,
We have put a stop to all our fight,
The world is sure burning bright.

The sky is all covered in clouds,
But don’t expect any rains around,
We can no longer hear any sound,
The sky is sure all covered in clouds.

It is not the silence of the peace,
No doves are resting atop the trees,
We all are crawling on our knees,
Is it night? Is it day? We just can’t see.

It’s the holocaust,
Why the air feels so hot?
It’s the holocaust,
And the mankind is forever lost,
It’s the holocaust,
We have brought about our own fall,
The god lies dead in front,
Who will hear our distress call?

The buildings are all crumbling down,
They were once a part of a breathing town,
The faces are all powdered like a clown,
The buildings sure are crumbling down.

That ring belongs to someone’s mom,
Wait! I know where that finger’s from,
The rest seems to be blown in the storm,
But that ring sure belonged to my mom.

We have no answers at the time,
We lay wearing mud and grime,
Thinking of future seems a crime,
Yes, we have no answers at the time.

It’s the holocaust,
All the fishes sleep on the land,
It’s the holocaust,
The birds are perching on dead sand,
It’s the holocaust,
We have brought about our own fall,
And the god lies dead in front,
Who will hear our distress call?

  1. Nice, this was a good read, and the picture was an awesome find for the post. I love the artistry in it... These darker feeling pieces suite me in some way.

    I should hope that mankind will change their ways, so that we don't face such destruction in our future!

    I wrote this after watching a nat geo documentary on hiroshima bombing.
    Thanks for your inspiratory feedback.
