Built in fear and forged from science. A metal cage bearing the wrath of a fiery hell plummets to the earth without a sound or a conscious. It knows nothing of the destruction it will bring. 

The light blinding and greater then the sun. The lucky vaporized before there nerve endings could even sense the pain. The further from hell the slower they burned, leaving the scattered white bones poking through the ash across the city. The buildings that remain bear witness with shadows permanently etched into them of people who are no more. Truly this is hell.

A marvel of science built by the greatest minds who lacked the forsight to comprehend there actions. Hundreds of thousands perished in the pursuit of a false peace, driven by power and corrupted by greed. 

We can always argue who did what and this and that but in the end the simple truth remains. Humanity sadly never learns. Violence is easy, peace takes streangth and wisdom. But ultimately in the end the corruptness and greed and anger of few shall bring the end to many if not all. There will be blood and my heart will weep for the souls of many.
