It came at midnight

no matter from whence it came

enough that it came

that it fell on the zero stroke

'twixt yesterday and today

and it destroyed tomorrow.

It grasped the earth and shook it

vibrations, ripples ... tidal waves

eruptions and 'quakes

total destruction

 Armageddon in the blink of an eye.

Every land knew its name

though none could agree ownership

all nurtured it

the world embraced it, expected and ...

received it.

Mightiest Destroyer of Mankind 

Ultimate Bomb

the Planet Eater

it devoured the world

at Midnight.
