Hiroshima by John Kaniecki


I recall a discussion with somebody from the Church of Christ. I contended the command to love, not only our neighbor but our enemy as well forbids a Christian to participate in war. This ‘brother’ objected. Never mind the Bible says “they won’t study war no more.” So trying to keep an open mind I watched a video presented by this brother of another brother in the Church of Christ. This video twisted scriptures where it said that the attack with atomic bombs was not only acceptable but also pleasing to God. 

We as human beings must organize and resist to fight this blight called 'war'. It is absurd the nuclear weapons were built in the first place.


Hiroshima

The day the sun kissed the Earth
Agony and despair in twin birth
Thousands incinerated
The logic debated
All for the greater cause
We transgress God's laws
Cruel death of burning flame
The world never to be the same

For the door was kicked in
A baptism of fire
A surging of sin

At the brink of apocalypse
Hear the reaper hiss
Bush the button red
And we'll all wind up dead!
