The Big Bang
It’s a scary and terrifying thought
When men behave like gods and try to wield that power
It’s a sad and heartbreaking memory
Thinking of the innocent who perished in that hour
It’s one thing to read about it
But in retrospect questioning if it was really necessary
Because those who govern
Make hard decisions from the safety of their sanctuary
I don’t like to imagine it
The land of the rising sun darkened in a flash of fire and hell
All the souls it must’ve taken
As if man manipulating the power of the atom casts a spell
The professor gives another lesson
Delivering a message with meaning like wisdom’s pearl
Then I begin to think of everlasting peace
But maybe I’m a fool for being hopeful in a hopeless world

I cringe and shudder every time someone insists the bombing was necessary. It wasn't. And if you don't question it, you won't see beyond the necessity to discover there were alternatives.
Keep focusing on that everlasting peace regardless - the meek shall eventually inherit the Earth!
Thought provoking, Wallyman!

Thanks for commenting JB.
It was a powerplay to show the Soviets what could be done, but that just opened the door for the nuclear age. Regardless, so many lives were lost because madmen and generals wanted to go to war at the cost of the poor.
