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.

I think this is awesome well written stuff The subject is horrifying.
I can not justify war.. in my mind, When we reached the level of mass destruction..war should be obsolete.. we should be able to settle disputes without large numbers of dead..or massive destruction to the cultures and
infrastructure of each other.The weapons of mass destruction are so horrible
we put what happened in Japan out of our mind.../But what we choose to forget we may repeat....so we must remember.. thank you for this masterful
write.

Perceived " dividing lines in history. " But, really, is this not progression....considering the FUSION reactor, rather than the FISSION variant. See, no waste, see, no threat. SEE POWER.......and, what it can give to you. NOT, TAKE AWAY. You, cannot un-invent the wheel. Find the positive constructive, rather than negative destructive.
