I dropped the bomb today;

When I fell for the ruse,
when I cheered for the demise
of my enemy.

I dropped the bomb today;

When I swallowed the
horse pill that made me feel so
powerful,

when I believed the world
could be made right
with a little push and shove.

How that bomb blew;

and I saw all the pieces
of my humanity hover
over me like a pale and dying
rainbow.

and the brutality of
apes
disguised as men
read me their broken
song.

and I knew the chorus.

and the bombs they fall,
and
the candy rots,

the pageantry of
fiery tears and
ravaged dreams,

like a ******* upending
the sky,

this poor little bomb
I gave so much
attention to,
was my
poor little
hope
that
destruction was only
a momentary lapse,
and
not a
feature of
my
being.
