DEATH BY A THOUSAND SUN'S

IT was HORRENDOUS watching from the outside in
The office in the building smashed BLOWN within

high pitch screams baby crys hot MELTING tears
Souls dissappear HEAT like a THOUSANDS GOLD SUN'S

Body's claimed one by one now lives just gone
The shattered sparkle of spears like fragments

INSIDE a 1000 CHARCOAL Black CORPSES now know
attachments
SKINLESS THERMAL crumpled SMOKED GREY Bones
lying like together but
ALONE . A GLOWING BALL of BOILING , SCALDING ,
TORTURING
SMOKING, CHOKING DEATH !
a FIRE created from HELL without a SOUL

Standing TALL a smell of SULPHUR

I was a SPECTATOR now
I'm Walking through WALLS !

describes the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I like the images that describe the intense heat that might have melted the flesh right off from the bones and the incineration of thousands. I'm sure that if there is such a thing as a ghost, there are many who wander these sites, walking through walls. I do wish that you had used some commas and other punctuation, it would make for easier understanding. I would change the line to read " A shattered sparkle of spear-like fragments". ~ Geezer.

The imagery gave not only a visual but audio representation of the explosion. It really tapped into all the senses as you can envision the burned bodies...can almost hear them screaming for their lives and smell the flesh. Well done!
