Nuclear Stench

outside on the streets
people are killed instantly
their fingertips
caughting fire

the flame spread
over the entire body
a grey liquid is dripping down their hands
scorching their fingers

nobody could i
magine that bodies can be burned and deformed like that
nobody

the hell opens the gates
you can't
open your eyes
the smoke drives your tears down the cheek
your lungs refuse to breathe the hot air

and your body is covered in blood

parts are flying around
driven by the nuclear fog

trying to hide
the vulnerable parts of the body
a fragment of glass embedded in your neck
cuts off the skin torn apart

you can't feel the pain
try to escape, try to hide
but the heat will follow you

your breath becomes short

your heart is pounding hard
heartattack
the legs give way under you
your cloths are burned

but you don't feel a bit of shame

you are to disturbed to get it
modesty has deserted you
you
need medicinal treatment
try to find some help

the death is hunting you
blood is again spurting out of the wounds
you are losing the race
it’s a big nightmare

suddenly the movements are slowing down
there are shadowy forms
people seem to run around
some of whom look like walking ghosts
their arms
held out from their bodies
a second later you realize that they had been burned

inconspicuous statues
embossed by fire
with an expression of suffering on their faces
