In the song Russians by Sting he sings

"Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy"

Oppenheimer was the father of the atomic bomb, one was called little boy, is that verse a metaphor?
