Heavy Metal
The sloppy brown stuff hit the fan
and world war two was lost or won
depending on who's side your pennant flew.
We British, blanket bombed like hell
on Dresden, Bremen and Berlin.
Hamburg's dead reach over forty thou
The RAF reach more homes than Santa
on a chilly Christmas Eve.
The Yanks though late, had Little Boy
It's name belied it punch.
in August nineteen forty five
it sent some japs for brunch.
On August nine the Fat Man called
and sent the rest to sleep.
Their hype would would show they won the war
the truth was much less jolly.
Hiroshima did not fall, it was not won
there was no call to arms.
One hundred thousand plus wiped out
and children's children pay.
Nagasaki fared the best
only fifty thousand; maybe more
succumbed and laid to rest.
