John,
Maybe the trick is to write of an event as if the N was in some distant future age, reflecting on the past; which is the method of many science fiction writers.

For example;

When neutron bombs hit Washington
A public service had been done;
No bureaucrat, not even one
Remained alive.

No pulsing neuron did remain
Of any legislative brain;
And, joining the untimely slain -
Judicial jive.

The White House of the President
Contained no breathing resident.
The city seemed so hesitant,
With no one home.

No longer swaying world events,
Its bronze and marble monuments
Stood as a ruin not equaled since
The fall of Rome.
