Nagasaki ...... [war; Very Short; Nuclear Energy; Ph-Inspired] Comments

Rating: 5.0

Whether to punish or just end the war...
in the Pacific, the U.S.A. did destroy....
much of what the city had been before.
It was one monumental military ploy.

You will educate a lot of people with this poem and description. Statistically, the bombings were justified, in my opinion. Morally, of course not. Thanks Bri

The atomic bombing of Japan probably saved, at the very least, hundreds of thousands of lives, Japanese and American. The number of Chinese, Burmese, etc., lives that would have been lost if the war continued is incalculable. Without those atomic bombs Japan would have been very unlikely to have surrendered and the Americans would have launched an invasion of the home islands. The Americans estimated it would have cost one million of its military personnel's lives to do that.

Thankyou. I am shocked reading the description of damage done you thoughtfully shared in the notes. I can't get my head around the things that humans do.

It is very apt to remember what we learnt from our past experiences.This piece of art stands as a mile stone to honour life and appeal for the establishment of peace which is the sole solution for humanity to attain success! Well thought, well expressed!

Well, this is an interesting and perhaps, the most outstanding poem among those written in this month. Although short in structure, it captures a very appealing theme. In fact, when I first read about bombing of those great cities, I really felt sad and immediate pity for those who lived in that era. May all those who lost their lives during that catastrophe rest in perfect peace! While I express my gratitude for the inclusion of my name in the acknowledgement, I think this is the most interesting history lecture I have attended..ha! The poet's note, I think, is enough to qualify the poet for an Honorary Doctorate. Salute Dr. Bri Edward (PhD) Well written!
