no learning curve

one fact
there is no learning curve
for nuclear war
and more
it would be morally indefensible
as a first strike option
i'll say it again
it would be madness
yet Eisenhower and SAC
had plans which detailed
exactly that
millions dead
bluebrownwhitegreenmauveyellowblackred
one man
one mistake
Earth transformed
one big lake
one big pity
insane to fire bomb a single city
i'll say it again
it happened dozens of times
in Japan
one hand
one eye
falling from the incandescent sky
one thoughtless moment
millions die
would it matter why?
one wonders.
