Little Boy & Fat Man! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

Little Boy & Fat Man!

Rating: 5.0


It Was Hell of a Havoc,
Little Boy & Fat Man,
Together did Avenging,
The Harboured Loss of,
A Pearl Necklace Beauty;

When A Man Forgetting,
Bitter Harsh Truth Reality,
Famous as Harry Truman,
Hurried Up and Ordered,
The Twin Deadly Drops;

The Uranium Little Boy,
Punched Hiroshima First;
The Plutonium Fat Man,
Pounded Nagasaki Next;

Civilians Dead & Injured,
In Hundreds of Thousands;
Radio Active Effects Felt,
For Several Generations!

Big Lessons Aptly Learnt,
But Experimental Tests,
Never Ever did Sieze,
A Weapons Race Exist;

Futile Mass Destruction,
Atomic, Biological, Chemical,
Disarmament Efforts;
NPT, CTBT, FMCT & ATT,
Treaties All in Jeopardy!

World Peace Politics &
Arms Games Beneath;
Hostile Nostalgic Past,
Future Hopes In Soup!

All actions and activities in the world summed up here in the Title Little BOY and Fat MAN. True attractive Title, it draws my eyes to it. Excellent poem very thought-provoking, but sure I have seen The Queen's Necklace!
