Poem # 256 Countdown…

   
Ten…
“L”ittle did they know, when they gathered great minds in zest;
Nine…
“O”utstanding scientists in physics chemistry and mathematics, teamed up for this quest; 
Eight…
“S”ucceed they would, in their impactful invention and test;
Seven…
“A”toms were split combusting, mankind at its worst;
Six…
“L”ive with the consequence of their actions, they must;
Five…
“A”shes to ashes dust to dust;
Four…
“M”ind in turmoil, conscience no longer lets them rest;
Three…
“O”ut of their hands, the final decision to use their find, against their behest;
Two…
“S”cience celebrated a great win that day, humanity transgressed?

One…
“A”n atom or…,was it a wild evil beast?
Zero…
“B”oom, Blast……Death, Debris… first of its kind, an eternal void, shhh… silenced the east…
