War - Ww2 - Demonstrating The Bomb Poem by Paul Warren

Los Alamos in the desert was so isolated
As the scientists making the bomb were gathered
Einstein started it by writing to Roosevelt a letter due
Stating that the Germans were experimenting too
So the Manhattan project started in New York City then
Expanding to Los Alamos to develop the bomb to the War's end

One morning they set a bomb in the desert on a tower
Then red fire and mushroom sprouted in the desert of power
But the scientists were anti-Nazi and against them they wanted
It to be dropped for their bid at world domination to be ended
In the end the Nazis were defeated before it was finished
This left the Allies fighting the Japanese with the War not diminished

The scientists against the Japanese did not want to use the bomb
And they wanted to a demonstration of its power along
By blowing up a remote island in front of everyone
Thereby ending the war without greater death done
So they wrote a letter to the President suggesting it
But it was stopped by secretary Burns as a proposal ending it

So the bomb was dropped first on Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities
And hundreds of thousands of people died without showing any pity
I wonder what could have been if the demonstration happened
Would there be face-offs now between nations not being optioned
It is hard to place yourself back in time to know what's right
But demonstrating the bomb might have stopped the war's fight.
