Killer Blow
Molotov meets with the embassadour,
ʺThis morning we attackʹd Manchuria
As a formal declaration of war!ʺ
ʺHow things have alterʹd much since Tsushima!ʺ
With its red wreath,
The Soviet Jackal
Sinks perdifious teeth into this carcass skull.
As soldiers seize the higher ground
To win the battle below,
Pilot pierces his veil of sound,
From the fuselage lets go
Another moment to astound,
The next Nagashino ‐
Now forming the noise of many waters
Nuclear phrenzie swarms as she slaughters.
Libertyʹs vision calmly drew
Closer magnaminous,
With quick one‐two victory flew
Yon that black wilderness ‐
Gaunt skeletons amidst the ash meaning total success.
Nagasaki
9th August
Victory in Japan
Today the fever of the globe subsides,
A state of peace restored unto the world,
Cross the Missouri’s deck MacArthur strides,
For him the battle banners sadly furl’d;
His brood had brought
The safety of the Earth,
Ful fiercely had they fought for lasting freedom’s birth.
War brands a mark upon the slave
& hurls him to the slaughter,
Then pins a badge upon the brave
Whose names are writ in water,
Respects are carved upon the grave
Remember’d forever,
Forever, ah! forever but to be
Forgotten like the Spanish Tragedie.
The most devastating conflict
In human history,
A many victim forged edict
To man’s stupidity,
Trumpets fresh bloodlet knowledge of his capability.
