Tonight at #dverse poet pub Lillian asked us to right a poem using songs that were number one on our birthday.
I was born in march of 1970 and on my tenth birthday Blondie was number one with Atomic. Which is a song I have always enjoyed. Thanks for the link to the sight it was fun it also let me know that Shakespeare’s sister was number one on my 22nd birthday another song i have always enjoyed. So the question this brought up is should we Stay Atomic? #ashes
atomic glow
Humanities ashes!
Hill top spectacle of destruction
Ashes float and drift down
Joining those coverting my Ankles.
Should we Stay Atomic cherished survivors?
Man falling out with Woman,
One people falling out with another,
As one religion declines the love
of any different faith.
Stay Atomic? Really!
Setting each other’s nerves ajar!
As riots over fuel take hold,
Atomic bombs drop,
Cinders settle to late!
Ashes of humanity
settle over our homes,
City, town, village or farm! All gone!
What song shall play?
When peace is born
And comes to stay when
Atomic no longer used
for loathing and annihilation.
