Heres a sonnet I wrote in my Creative Writing class a year & a half ago about the atomic bomb. I titled it The Theory of Relativity because while relativity led to the bombs creation, terrorism is also very relative. You fly two planes into some buildings, killing 5,000, & youre labeled a terrorist (rightly so), but then you vaporize 200,000 civilians & youre labeled a war hero? Lord, forgive our heinous sin... Heres the poem: Terror conceives only terrorizing Flames of demi-gods dwarf the desert blaze Grim implications are paralyzing At end of all things, be we damned or praised? Father forgive, indeed we are sinning A ghastly white oak grows in blackened sky Incarnate legend from the Beginning Silent accord: The end is surely nigh Ever-active earth stops, stands still, struck dumb Out of Leviathans mouth flames released Nagasaki, Hiroshima become Molten pillars; Twin Towers of the East Ashes like snow, blinding flash paper-white On which is past we are sure to rewrite
