No Recovery

I am trapped in chains
Alive without a host
As I twist upon the floor
Tears and agonized groans
I am yet alive but burning
I am life without any sign
Anonymous and no control
I've become a living ghost
And given lung cancer
From the dust inhaled
As the black air settles
My hope is lost like ash
And there is no recovery
We are victims of leaders
Choosing war as their choice
They're dead, and we will be
Forgotten like every boast
That anyone can win a war
Fought with nuclear fire
