May God have mercy on us
For what we did that day When “Fat Man” was deployed To the startled world’s dismay. Killing 80,000 Bombs don’t discriminate It doesn’t know the difference It just incinerates. The horror it incurred The bodies left behind The ash The flames The suffering The source of its design. We built this bomb We let it drop We failed humanity. We didn’t pause We didn’t stop Question its morality. "Fat Man" was the codename for the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Man
