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……

Well written Mohammad! Human on human crimes continue! Quest for power and political authority is the culprit! Most of the world is involved, but we can change it one heart at a time with love and respect for our fellow human beings! My best, chuck

This is so true. It was a very sad part of history, one that we can't deny. In a war we all lose even if we win. thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Mohammad....graphic, soulful poem...killing by governments continues....with drone strikes, proxy banker wars (protecting oil and poppy fields) and destabilizing genocides...I see no real hope for our future, sad to say....good, brave poem! Jimbo
