War - Ww2 - Tsutomu Yamaguchi - Nijū Hibakusha - Double A-Bomb Survivor Poem by Paul Warren

Tsutomu Yamaguchi worked for Mitsubishi as a heavy engineer
During World War 2 as his apprehension about Japan grew his family's fear
He was at Hiroshima 6 August 1945 in morning on a business trip
When the Enola Gay changed the world for a bombed atomic hit
He saw a lone bomber with two parachutes in the sky
And one massive flash and explosion which wiped the city with a sigh

He was badly burned and taken to his Nagasaki home
On the 9 August 1945 he went to work for his duty prone
He was speaking to the foreman about the atom bomb explosion
And the foreman found it difficult to belief the fantastic notion
When again there was a blinding flash in the sky above
And the plutonium bomb gave both men a mighty shove
So Tsutomu Yamaguchi became one of an exclusive few
To survive two atomic attacks as the new world order grew.
