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.

Yes, but I had to read it three times before I really understood something of how you feel. I would not think that there are many alive today that would not agree with you. In war, there are no winners, and in nuclear war there is no end. When the bombs have finished exploding, the radio-activity continues for many generations, and the excuses for using the devices are forgotten, until finally there is no life, just existance...of some kind. I try not to think of it.
Your words are so full of sentiment and care. It hits the nail right on the head. Thanks for sharing this.
PS: We should think and write about Syria and the suffering there as well. Chemical warfare can be just as horrific.

[zainul]

Thank you Daffy for the compassionate and thoughtful words.
I am very glad that you read thrice to understand my feeling.
I feel very blessed and honored that a reputed poet like you did such favor to my efforts.
The message you presented here should awake the conscience of all people and politicians of all countries and continents including Syria to stop inhumane actions against humans under any pretext and pleas.
Thanks again,dear poet for stopping by to grace this piece.

A very powerful and conscience -driven poem. There is a big debate about it with sensitivity on all sides. I know you are doing it from a compassionate heart not to be political or judgemental...A very good poem Zainul...:)

[zainul]

Thanks for realizing my intention.
I pray and hope that the warmongers also realize and stop killing the innocent peoples.
Let them enjoy the pompous lifestyle without affecting the innocent civilians.

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree and I commend you for that. They are pompous and arrogant and think they are a super power or this and that . God is the Only super power...What rises will fall one day. Natural things...

[zainul]

Voices from the peace loving people should unite and shout that they are wrong.
They have to stop such offenses and realize the reality if people reject them they will rot like carcasses.

[Sami Khalil]

Blessed are the peace makers not the war mongers...:)

[zainul]

I support your wonderful slogan,"Blessed are the peace makers not the war mongers"
Poets can inspire the people to join wars,they can stop the people to motivate people against wars that kill innocent peoples around the world.

[Sami Khalil]

So true Zainul ; You are welcome...:)

[zainul]

You are welcome,dear Sami...:)

Short but very deep and sensitive subject. Extremely well written to be able to convey that amount of emotions is a short poem.

[zainul]

Thank you Autumn for the great words.
I appreciate your insight and laudable expression.
