Hiroshima n Nagasaki – Seventy Five Years Since 1945

Robert Oppenheimer manned 
"The Manhattan Project", 
a top secret World War II mission                   
which constituted "Little Boy" codename 
for a uranium gun-type 
atomic bomb dropped at 0815

exploding 580 metres above civilians 
with 15 kiloton blast yield 
reduced 400 year old city to dust
Colonel Paul Tibbets, 
the pilot/ bombardier 
of the Enola Gay, 

(the Boeing B-29 Superfortress
unleashing nuclear warfare 
seventy years years ago today)
gives cause for this baby boomer to revisit
mentally, the annihilation, 
extermination, incineration 

the first of two storied Japanese enclaves
realizes how trifling my current bout 
with mania paranoia, pneumonia 
(from northern exposure)
contrasted with sinister 
thermonuclear reaction

malevolent evil tower ushering
thermonuclear age epitomizing 
coup de nada so graceful 
means maximum military mutilation
though unwell, this inflammation poised 
to be cured unlike subsequent generations of victims

who survived atrocious, egregious, hellacious, 
judicious slaughter can only poorly be described
by this mortal with curable bacterial/viral infection 
aghast at such wanton killing, more-so
via weapons of mass destruction 
more devastatingly grisly 

than those "experimental" bombs
loosed upon the innocent population, 
whereby 75,000 people killed or fatally injured
with 65% of casualties nine years of age and younger 
whence offspring of survivors
evincing excess genetic anomalies 

with fiery windy surface (think towering infernos)
temperatures topping 4,000°C 
upon terrain hallowed by ghastly 
horrible deathly dominance 
amidst shadow of sinister mushroom cloud
wickedly, ominously, and eerily looming.
