No more Hiroshima

 

(Every year on  August 6, Japanese people observe

the Hiroshima day by releasing hundreds of white pigeons

in the blue sky of peace memorial park, the then bomb

blast area. I visited that area on the Hiroshima day of 1999)

____________________________________________________

 

I still smell the smoke of

an atomic bomb blast

There were a lot of broken buildings

and human remnants in the museum

and the memorial parks……

 

Many people were victims of leukemia

Still many suffering from skin cancers

and genetic disorders…….

 

I still smell the smoked flesh and blood of

human beings in the air of Hiroshima

I still hear the voice of hundreds of

unsatisfied souls in the sky of Nagasaki…….

 

No more Hiroshima

No more Nagasaki……
