Hiroshima N Nagasaki Seventy Five Years Since 1945

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.


Breath

Closing eyes listening to my surroundings 
With words in the mind that can't come out 
A feeling of danger sinking under water
Grasping with an intent to.follow the words
Help, please help I need someone close
The feeling of free flowing fall, or just an abyss 
Deep rooted in our chest craves the moment 
The relief of one consciousness driven down
The ora of ones pain becomes all
The worst of all it becomes that experience 
Shake, shaking deep within tugging the soul
Pain rivals through and through instinctively 
Opening the door to a new life and goal
But when you open your eyes
Your pulled back to reality and begin
Begin to do what Humanity is suppose to do

BREATH!

Premium Member Prop Poetry

There is one type of writing or form in poetry where you can freely express your thoughts in a different form or format.   I call it "prop" poetry.  A given one-word title of the poem or  a phrase is the subject matter.  Make a description of the given word or phrase with parallelism and/or contrasting ideas or thoughts in each line and end the last line with just one word, but doesn't have to be a one-syllable word.

  If you are familiar with photopoetry or shape (concrete) poem, we illustrate the subject of the poem in a consistent way as we explore the notion itself in a longer format.  

  Prop poetry can be written in a single line or up to 100 lines if you want to. Each line doesn't have to start with a capital letter. Each line can be expressed in lower case.

  You can also create your own poem in any shape or format that you wish.

  We write with simplicity to inspire with a great sense of pride.


Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis 

A miner's lung disease
deadly, but treatable.
Symptomatic
curable 
Well.


        My Sweetheart

lovely and compassionate 
  lively and never impersonate 
    loquacious, but not vicious 
      gentle and cautious 
         sweet



Poetry

Your soul that speaks
   your heart that leaks
      hot or cold
            bold


Rain

under the nimbus clouds in bouts
    with torn umbrella that pouts
     furious and unstoppable 
  flood in tears immeasurable 
      drenched in the mud
        clenched like a bud
                     wet

Why Crippled America

Why Crippled America?

Any presidential nominee thus far, 
Anyone ever in long history’s past, 
Could’ve called America crippled, 
A high look upon disability to cast. 

Disability is now curable sometimes, 
And healthcare stands sturdily tall,
As a nation’s proudest profession, 
As our greatest step and tribal call.

So the analogy to disability power, 
The relationship of doctor/patient, 
Could be used by any great politician, 
To explain his policies and argument. 

But I believe that any candidate knows, 
To deliberately dismiss this slogan, 
To in determination bypass disability, 
As a succinct method of explanation. 

It’s what goes to make a man great, 
A politician tick and get it right, 
A women see the good and justice, 
Of the Syrian migrant’s plight. 

So Trump should be sued, slammed, 
By disabled people in a law court case, 
For debasing their physiognomy, 
For knifing their contributive face. 

He does not pertain to disabled people, 
Now, after all of that in any way, 
And if you are aware of disability,  
Then don’t give him the time or day.

Hiroshima Seventy Six Years Since August 6th 1945

Hiroshima – seventy six years since August 6th, 1945

Once again, I take momentary pause
to contemplate horrific event
regarding unleashing atomic warfare
activating nuclear brinkmanship,
hence time to trot out a poem
written initially some years ago
courtesy yours truly.

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 six 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.

Medicine In the Year 2736

Injection to let you fly through the air, 
Nobody to look at you or downwards stare. 

Bottle, a liquid to change hair colour to a permanent shade, 
Just the right amount for your own liking, not to fade. 

And a tablet for skin colour, again any colour, 
Most teenagers go for purple so as to tower. 

Laser zap with ease eradicates your cancer flare,  
Completely curable now, without radiation’s glare. 

No MND, MD or dwarfism abound, 
With genetic editing there’s a muscular sound. 

Only problem is kids want to design on their iPads, 
Their future kids, but the law says that the natural adds. 

We’re working on building the robotic-man assistant, 
For the home where parents are not ambivalent.

Premium Member Later That Summer

There is no real life without love and no love without life.                                                                                         Both can be beautiful, but like roses, they also produce thorns.                                                                                 The two entities must co-exist and draw fuel from each other.                                                                                       There is the pain in both, like power from positive and negative charges.                                                                              We do not always welcome it with open arms, but there is no life without pain.                                           

Long before I knew or even met her who became 'The One', there were other relationships, most of which were short-lived with sad endings. Two of them are very noteworthy and taught me early-on about life's enduring character. We can be rocked and bulldozed by them if we do not learn to come to terms and 'move on'. Romantic and relationship encounters that go sour and south can strike one at the very core of the soul and render its victims helpless. It is a very curable experience for most of us, but it is also a most memorable one.                                                                   

For two summers in a row, I was charmed, swept into the arms and hearts of beautiful human beings only to be emotionally beaten up one summer, and abandoned the next summer by circumstances some two thousand miles away.  These two promising loves had barely begun before they quickly ended, never having the chance to complete what could have been.  From Chicago, one returned to South Dakota, and the other returned to Puerto Rico.                                                                          

One has to be reminded that events of emotion and passion, though ever so pure, innocent, and sincere, do not have to end one's hope for a lasting love.  Emotions and passions come and go like seasons, but like summer always follows springtime, my lasting love came with a beautiful smile later that summer.

Premium Member My Last Letter

My last letter


Came to me breathless and tired,
His yellow eyes I could well notice,
His dad too had such eyes I enquired,
And God ! another brother having similar,

My reference letters helped fasten diagnosis,
But oh the agony of disease itself,
The mother, the siblings losing cheer,
When came to know it wasn't curable,

Well he was a proven thalasemia !
Three of a poor family suffered,
My hands trembled and eyes teared,
Blood transfusion to five year old every other month,

My heart ached and prayers had failed,
Words in the letters were weeping for justice,
A costly affair to life of a poor innocent sick,
Why God? For what wrong of his did he suffer?

She wasn't coming last three months,
Apprehensive I went sleepless,
One day to find the mother bitterly cry,
Little had I known it was my last letter !

Premium Member Credence Survival

Ignorance begets ill choices,
Going against your inner voices,
Not realizing what lies ahead,
Only create being hopeless instead,
Reduce the sum of a valued life,
An unsure find leads to further strife,
Now in the dark as you contemplate,
Causes that be, made you in this state,
Exact your life towards a remake,

Carry hope, that it be a mistake,
Aggressive tumors is malignant,
Use the time to further the treatment,
Stay with the course to better oneself,
Engage your mind to a better health,

Caught in time, it can be curable,
Anyone, helps make it bearable,
Notable survival rates goes up,
Close family, friends, --none? get a pup,
Entertain the thought of going home,
Remission, hope's gift that is welcomed.
