Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Too late, too soon
For the sound
That had come
for now, all are gone.

For those who survived
The vaporization, the decimation
The instant,
The plea. Is need.

For what was won
Many had lost,
They are not a number
They are a people

A people lost by the plastered 'good'
