[net.poems] A Wish

A Wish

I wish the world
	peace and love
Or we will destroy
	all the children
Plants and men
	melted by atomic heat
Leave only shadows
	of what was, never again

And death will hover
	long, long centuries
What is left of man
	mutilated remanents, not man
Survived yet not survived
	who can that living death
And there product
	man mutilated beyond man

What life to look forward to
	that is not life
Death would be welcomed
	and granted by another
Animals where man once walked
	and man is the animal
For the mind died
	with the explosion
