blackened earth

a nuclear explosion
an apocalyptic wasteland
blackened dirt
charred bones
broken souls haunting the earth

fighting for freedom
nearly won the war
until fear in the ego
rocked a soul to its very core

with the push of a button
the angel and demon did cry
as a mushroom cloud rose in the sky

a nuclear explosion
taking out the globe
an apocalyptic wasteland
an earth darkened by war
