TRINITY
Born in the New Mexican desert
on the 16th of July,1945
they called her Trinity
a freak of nature
three heads are better than one
Her explosive temprament
smashed through
the silence, her cry
ripped through muted throats
a sonic bomb so loud
rang in the ears of the deaf
a flashing light so bright
it pierced the blind man's eyes.
A new Angel of Death was born
as the fabric of life was torn.
Could we repair it?
She came into this world
to warn mankind.
One flick of a switch
and we could be dead meat
or freaks of nature.
Her birth hailed a new era
and new fears mushroomed
out of control.
Out of this desert nightmare
a tribe emerged who lay down
all weapons,their message spreading
like wildfire burning holes in fear
releasing white origami birds of peace
into the dark clouds of destruction.
