Little Boy

Hiroshima was turned to a hell on 06 August 1945 by the atom bomb,Little Boy

Little Boy was a clever name
He played a merciless and fiery game

People of Hiroshima melted like snow
Little Boy displayed his atomic glow

Warmongers are not happy with death
They feed Little Boy to appease wrath

I believe that was not once, but twice... May be you should do a follow up with the other A-bomb and have a duet piece to this write... There's nothing fair about war... both sides lose... and we say the Holocaust was bad... did the US of A... not do the same to the Japanese people... but all at once... I know the reason was to stop the war quick and have no more casualties... really had to drop 2 of them to show the world not once, but twice...

and now we tell the world... we will not use them on anyone unless used on us... A little hypocritical... but that's war... I know my people (Philippines) were captured by the Japanese during the time... and I'm glad to have my freedoms... let's look at the future and hope no one use the weapon on the us... just for history repeating itself... like it always does...

Thanks for the courage to speak the truth.
Since you are a Judge,it is naturally expected that your discretionary judgement will be in favor of the innocent majority across the world who always strive for mere survival.
Thanks for stopping by to glorify the piece.

No one should have this type of power. That Little Boy made a big splash in a small pond. This piece is a great light on a dark subject.

[zainul]

Thank you Kenaz for the strong words.
I hope your humane feelings will change the merciless hearts of the offenders.

I dream of a day when words will replace weapons

This is world to me.:)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Your poem is horribly meaningful for all the citizens of this planet, zainul. The ongoing threat of nuclear destruction should haunt our dreams more than it seems to - perhaps because we have grown used to it and know there's nothing we as individuals can do to change the situation. Does the world need another Hiroshima or Nagasake to make it wake up to the danger? Let's all pray that doesn't happen. Thanks for reawakening me and all your readers to this horrendous situation.

[zainul]

Thank you Joyce for the illuminating review.
I can easily predict that the next nuclear war will destroy the whole humanity.
There will be no joy of the humans since all living people of all countries will be lame,burnt or cancer ridden.
I adore your great reawakening .We need leaders like you who can motivate,persuade and compel the
merciless agents of death to come to sense.
Have a nice time,dear friend.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Another profound poem. Yes war is horrible and never actually solves much, well, not for long. What really makes me feel sick is the names they give to their weapons! As if it was all a game!

[zainul]

You are very correct to say that naming of weapons is another game.
This dirty game is done by a group of power greedy people to eradicate their opponents.
But,perhaps they leave the hearts of humans when doing such atrocious work.
Thank you dear friend for the wonderful review.
I feel very honored by your great gesture.:)

Having visited the peace museum, and lived just out side of Hiroshima for eight months, this is a write very close to me. A moment of great tragedy for the human race. Anyone who can, should visit that museum. In the face of such ravage, it delivers a message of true peace. Thank you, Zainul, for writing this poem. And RR me you stuff, please. I would have hated to have missed this one.

[zainul]

I am very grateful for your wonderful and compassionate review,Pryde.
I am very much enlightened by your personal experience of the peace museum located around Hiroshima.
Your precious review adds a great value to my poem which is meant for unconditional peace for the continuation of human race in this planet.
Thanks for stopping by to grace this piece.

[Pryde Foltz]
