He Said WHAT?!

Nuclear test (Credit: ALAMY)

The Forbidden detonation. The horror cannot

be eluded; all-encompassing and final.

That dread instrument of fission-fusion.

The final horizon. A thermonuclear event

to end life as it exists where it exists why

it exists. Gone, vaporized, the illusion that

life is divine surrendered to humanity's lust

for power and slide into lunacy. Neutrons

and X-rays flood the atmosphere. It takes

but a millionth of one second and it is done.

The atmosphere absorbs deadly radiation

expands and the mass cools. Milliseconds.

Concussion's shock soars far and wide -- an 

inner core heats to a fireball in three seconds.

Engulfing as it rises and spreads. Light that

nature recalls from the birth of the Universe

blinds the sighted in a fearful display of fury

capped by a mushroom cloud as pressurized

air of the roiling, boiling mass sends its

shock-wave consuming and devastating.

This awesome display of nature run amok

extinguishing all before it in brilliant light.
