It came at midnight
no matter from whence it came
enough that it came
that it fell on the zero stroke
'twixt yesterday and today
and it destroyed tomorrow.
It grasped the earth and shook it
vibrations, ripples ... tidal waves
eruptions and 'quakes
total destruction
Armageddon in the blink of an eye.
Every land knew its name
though none could agree ownership
all nurtured it
the world embraced it, expected and ...
received it.
Mightiest Destroyer of Mankind
Ultimate Bomb
the Planet Eater
it devoured the world
at Midnight.
