LITTLE BOY <\/p>\n

America dropped the first bomb,
\nAnd it seems that ever since,
\nIt’s been just an uphill battle,
\nThe rest of the world to convince.<\/p>\n

She claims that it was justified,
\nThat so many died in that flash,

\nAre born in the hearts of men,
\nI can only hope and pray,
\nThat they never do it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
