In a pillar of light as bright as the sun,
an event that took mercy on nothing and no one.
Shattering glass hundreds of miles away.
Shattering the thoughts of anyone that's around.
Evidence of the reason has yet to be found.
A mystery in history that rings through time.
A continent away the blast was even felt
as atmospheric pressure fluctuated then fell.
There is no crater so no one can tell,
was it human cruelty or cosmic hell?
Was it natural or was it a crime?
The flash was quick and the heat was immense,
then like a giant falling a sound so intense.
People held their ears as they screamed in fear.
Tearing off their clothes as it melted to their skin.
There's a fire in the sky and no one knows why.
They don't understand, but did they even try?
There is no crater so no one can tell,
was it human cruelty or cosmic hell?
Was it natural or was it a crime?
The night sky turned white and the land took flight!
