POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Footnote: Father George Zabelka, chaplain
in World War II to those who dropped 2 atom
bombs on Japan, asked forgiveness for
failure to speak up. Poster listened to a debate
this morning between an 87 year old WW2 vet
and another man his age. The vet said those
in the service rejoiced when the bomb was
dropped. The latter said
the bomb was dropped to intimidate the Russians
from entering Japan.
