Misused Power

3… 2… 1… Boom!
All is gone in an instant.
Silence as the dust clears
To reveal what remains.
Not much, but rubble
And nuclear air.
Three boys were standing
Just over there
Spending their money on sweets.
To my right was a school
And to my left was a church.
But all is gone in an instant.
An old man was behind me
Walking his little dog,
But they too are no more.
All is gone in an instant.
Why? I ask myself.
Why did we do this?
We had such power in our hands
And we chose to kill
We chose to use the power for war
And now all is gone.
All life, innocent and deserving,
Sent to heaven and hell.
The flood gates have opened
To the lands of death.
All have suffered
Innocent and deserving
All in an instant.
Now all is lost.
