Like a thirsty man trapped in the sanctuary of thoughts

guilt, or sympathy? -the question is more complex, but can only be answered by the writer, the rest is left to the reader... But I suppose considering there were a mere handful people responsible (in the final stages) for it, I'd say something deeper, perhaps you feel responsible after viewing the damage done, and feel as if, you bought your freedom, but the price was to high for the morals of your culture to allow any compensation or release from guilt.. *shrug* It's up to you- what you meant, people interpret it as they see it, if it's the way you intended, good for you, if it's not, it still carries meaning atleast, maybe even better then what you'd intended.
You do really dropped the second bomb in....? just JK, but your poem have had touched me...I was in hiroshima and its very beautiful in there with a sad history! nice penned.
A poem born in compassion. On a post-war visit to Hiroshima, Einstein was said to have sobbed grief stricken apologies for his part in encouraging the bomb's creation.
Beautiful. I was intrigued by the title. Touchy subject, but incredibly well written and thoughtful. Well done. Ef x
Very touchy, sentimental, moving! How we wish the world never sees a repitition! As poets let us work for a world full of peace, harmony sc love! ,
That was moving and well done on such a sad subject. Least we forget the end that was never needed the Japanese were all ready to surrender before the bomb was droped. And a hope it will never be used in war again great poem
Though natural calamities drain man's resources, man-made calamities is far more disastrous yet in the and LOVE and PEACE should prevail! . Great tribute my friend. Highest mark.
That was excellent imagry used in that poem. Excellent work: -)
What a coincidence! I just now submitted a poem titled 'INDIA' wherein Hiroshima and Nagasaki got a mention! Humanes think alike, it's sure!
And on down through the centuries we go more and more pay back. You know if we treated each other with only love what would be the payback. Man gets what he pays out. Sadly-----10
