Mans' Inhumanity (the H Bomb)

No one could imagine,
What role it would play,
As high over Japan,
Flew the Enola Gay.
Carrying its cargo,
Like a pregnant mother.
As the world was to see,
What we could do to each other.

Four hundred children,
In one school got surprised,
As the H bomb was dropped,
They were all vaporised.
Nothing was left of them,
Not even their clothes.
As the blinding light hit them,
And the mushroom cloud rose.

No lessons were learnt though,
You’ll still see today,
As political leaders,
Their war games still play.
Can somebody tell me?
Just what is gods’ plan?
Why must we still suffer?
Mans, Inhumanity to man.


(Enola Gay was a world war two, B29 bomber which dropped atomic bombs on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki).  The bombs were dropped at 8.30 am at a height that would cause the maximum damage to humans and property. The plane was named after the pilot’s mother.
