How gracious you were
mountain top
lost valley and sea
within the dried barren nations
that warred over thee

At first the bomb
constricted
then set your suff'ring free

Why were
those victorious proudly

trampling down your skin
they pushed their iron flagpoles deep down
rocky crevices

Then washed their hands
routinely
as to prove that they were innocent

Winning in those days meant
failing many
times
now weeping bombs sail
across an ocean of tending

Not too far away
machines built a bomb
so 
rusty
the fiends' mothers alone
come 
and search the place for needles

Then the fire came

the trees burned
Lyric-like
