Hiroshima Blues

a poem by Nirmaldasan

There is thunder and lightning and
rain and a stormy gale.
Said, there is thunder and lightning and
rain and a stormy gale.
Many are killed by the storm and
a few survivors weep and wail!

The earth shakes and the quake registers
a seven on the Richter scale.
Said, the earth shakes and the quake registers
a seven on the Richter scale.
Many are killed by the quake and
a few survivors weep and wail!

A bomb is dropped and a cloud of smoke
hangs over Hiroshima pale.
Said, a bomb is dropped and a cloud of smoke
hangs over Hiroshima pale.
Many are killed by the bomb and
dying survivors weep and wail!
