Hiroshima And Nagasaki Remembered

66 years ago the atomic bomb blasted below the heads of those in these towns. How many hundreds, yes, how many thousands were left to die, consumed by man-made fire? 66 years ago, the incredible showed its face that death by hundreds or by thousands be decreed by man, that the green land and waters should stand barren and poisoned. Never again should another atomic bomb be blasted on another town or towns! Never again should another Nagasaki and Hiroshima be doomed to atomic curse! But let their story be told to generations Let the ashes of the dead float in the seas and rivers, an eternal reminder of human fault. Let this story be remembered and retold. ______________ August 9,2011
