REMNANTS
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

A bomb comes cracking down,
 Shatters palace and fountain, But after the destruction
 Still stands the mountain. Last night they spattered down,
 One heard the buildings shake, The ruins looked ghastly
 But still remains the lake. All along the embankment,
 Detonations make one shiver, Houses go down like so many ten pins, But still flows the river. They pick off looming towers,
 Humans, whole crowd, But they've never annihilated
 A lovely white cloud. Great bombers are sailing,
 Taking their toll from on high, But when the smoke has cleared
 There still remains the blue sky.
