The barren   landscape sends me shivers Further enhanced by the total obliteration The presence of ghosts still lingers So many years after the detonation All this desolation pictures Like a scene from the apocalypse scriptures A pale nuclear shadow projected eternally The perpetual loss of harmony A remnant showing us our absurdity Was vaporised by the obfuscating bright The ashen picture is the last goodbye Relic of the tremendous light My moods darken I want to cry This is the last trace of a human being a son of someone prevented from further ageing That from fate couldn’t run Like a permanent echo of the disaster a visual silent scream like a photograph of a dreadful dream a shout that sends a warning to us all As we wish to forget how the balance is frail It’s easy to disregard the detail and be united by the same fate that destruction at an even greater scale it’s yet a threat not out of date

Hiroshima Pictures
The barren   landscape sends me shivers Further enhanced by the total obliteration The presence of ghosts still lingers So many years after the detonation All this desolation pictures Like a scene from the apocalypse scriptures A pale nuclear shadow projected eternally The perpetual loss of harmony A remnant showing us our absurdity Was vaporised by the obfuscating bright The ashen picture is the last goodbye Relic of the tremendous light My moods darken I want to cry This is the last trace of a human being a son of someone prevented from further ageing That from fate couldn’t run Like a permanent echo of the disaster a visual silent scream like a photograph of a dreadful dream a shout that sends a warning to us all As we wish to forget how the balance is frail It’s easy to disregard the detail and be united by the same fate that destruction at an even greater scale it’s yet a threat not out of date
pictures of Hiroshima darkened my mood, the nuclear shadow pic, made me gloomy, some words of respect and warning echoed inside
