Atom Bomb Poem by UMESH KUMAR SINGH

Atom Bomb

My elder sister offers me an "atom bomb",
She has just come from the temple,
The "atom bomb" stirs memory and desire,
It is not of the kind that devastated,
Nagasaki and Hiroshima,
But a sweetening delicacy,
We all brothers and sisters,
Love to share,
When brought from the local sweetmeat vendor,
Amid all the noise and cacophony of the area around!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My native town of Chapra in BIHAR in India state has changed and the sweetmeat shop has lost its clientele but the shop evokes past memories when we used to share its atom bomb on all festive occasions.
