Cast Into Perishment

The most magnificent inventions
Conceived to eradicate
Splitting into smaller fragments
The nucleus transmutates
Releasing large amounts of crushing energy
Gamma rays penetrate
Living tissue disintegrates
Misantrophic science
Devised for discreation
Suddenly, a blinding flash
A flaming cloud begins to rise
Appearing in a fungal shape
Towering above the diminishing skyline
Atomised beings
Fallen edifices
The city became void
Bleak and derelict
Cellular mutations
Vitality degrades
Ionising radiation
Continues to devastate
Multitudes cast into perishment
The life that this place held inside
Buried among the debris
