A World Without War Buildings rose and fell and smashed In waves and blasts of wood and brick and glass and stone. Dust swirled, cavorted, playing games As though to mock the earth And every living thing that ever was, as though to say: “Forget the songs, the poems, science, books, Ignore the paintings, hopes, joys, love, The sorrows and the ugliness, And the beauty That once was Man.” Then, from the loudest cries and noises ever heard There came a silence never known– Not even one small scream, As Armageddon, Man’s last creation, ended war– forever. by Charlotte M.
