On
contemplating the fate of Hiroshima on August 6th 1945 and the world
still...
(written
in 2005)
We
breathe in the air that rushed through their lungs
We
breathe in the atoms that were their bodies
We
slip our feet into sea
that
touches all land
We
feel the same sun on our skin
as
the people who die
as
the people who kill
as
the people who wait
as
the people who order
as
the people who obey
as
the people who do nothing
as
the people who sing
as
the people who love
as
the people who hate
as
the people who are bewildered
as
the people who grieve
as
the people who accept
as
the people who struggle
as
the people who cry and laugh and wonder in awe
as
the people who have nothing
as
the people who want more
as
the people who want no more
as
the people who want peace
We
feel the same sun on our skin
The
same air in our lungs
You
and I
