nuclear words you keep holding on to that 50-megaton bomb you've been holding in like it could blow up Nagasaki you can keep telling me you have justification for your feelings while I suspect the longer you hold this arsenal that won't fly in any Enola Gay I very much suspect it won't even ignite a light bulb The World War I went through was much harsher than yours and comrades in arms suffered the same and we all tucked it away, too and it remains to still haunt and harm to this day There is an epicenter so wide and continually spreading within I question my mere existence day to day while you who once stood on your toes to look me in the eyes on the carpet where we played saw my blue eyes close and our shared DNA We are not that different except in one way I sheltered you from my ground zero I sung and danced when I didn't recite those fairytales that don't come true except in imagination. I shared my survival story and you have now created a narrative of your own where a father could become a villain who to this day is confused and alone as ever 8.13.20 some of the nuclear weapons today are more than 3,000 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. i want to participate until my child eviscerated me last night with words they can never walk back from. even though today, acting like last night was pretty much business as usual. |
