A Legacy of Vendetta

Snaps of the hefty rifles, the blaring of incendiary grenades:

Corpses plonked everywhere!

Defeated flags burning in flames,

Victor flags glistering like the Sun.

Some palaces demolished-

While some flourished:

Hostility everywhere!

 

 

The innocent lives lost in Pearl Harbor;

And the countless number of soldiers, who martyr.

Families got displaced;

Due to the war in place.

Children's forgot, their gleeful childhood--

Many even lost their parenthood!

 

 

Agony everywhere! Agony everywhere!

 

 

Finally, the Nazis surrendered:

The baneful war came to a stop forever, I shrieked with ecstasy!

“BOM!” - blasted the pernicious atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,

The large traditional Japanese Minka's; detonated into Lilliputian specks of ash!

Khrock-Zazz! Khrock -Zazz!

‘It's all dark...

Oh, God! It was an ephialtes

“But what about the lives demise?

Why we have such a legacy of vendetta”?’

I thought and slept again!
