Hiroshima Shadows

Hiroshima, the bomb blast shook our core Haunting shadows were imprinted for days Sixth August nineteen forty-five haunts many more Enola Gay, the atom bomb wiped rays The visibility was shunned everywhere Hiroshima, the bomb blast shook our core The rising death toll warned us to take care Eighty thousand bodies scattered the shore More pain, massive destruction was in store “Little Boy” and “ Fat Man” were codes chosen Hiroshima, the bomb blast shook our core We tried to bury it like a past folklore The Oleander bloomed years later We now continue to carry our chore Yet, remember mankind is not greater Hiroshima, the bomb blast shook our core.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
