U234

By Emma

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

U234 Silently gliding The pregnant Behemoth moves Where no light penetrates Carrying Japan’s final hope In her belly Fathered from the shores of Germany Bringing The genetic code For a monstrous offspring To unleash on the world And The fire of the sun Far across the Atlantic Enigma hears the words Watches and waits As the hope of Germany perishes With a bullet through his brain The call goes forth across the seas Surrender all submarines…. Long live Germany Then silence U234 surfaces To meet the USS Sutton And labors forth her precious cargo In the deserts of New Mexico Critical mass is reached And Armageddon is born Swaddled in death’s shroud She finally reaches her mother Japan By the wings of the Enola Gay And drops Into the unsuspecting arms Of Hiroshima and NagasakiScary how close WE came to being the ones to receive her! It made me think. Written April 17th, 2002 © on Apr 17 2002 03:36 PM PST   0 • 10
