Hiroshima. Poem by Tony Adah

Hiroshima.



The klaxon of war blared
And the hawk took off
From God's own land towards the sea of Japan
Enola Gay went gay
And Hiroshima shimmered
In the ashes of death that
The hawk released from its talons.

A glowing city went into gloom
Everything blasted and gone
By the blunder of war.
There the city lay an inanimate mass
Swallowed by the cloud of death
The lustre of power shining in the opaque smoke
And the city decimated
By the policeman of the world.
