Their images
etched in shadow light
forever
remind of us
of their plight.
Cries of agony
and pain
frozen
in a flash --
as flesh sloughed
and fell
from mortal frame.
A war was ended
So they claim
the casualties,
a necessity.
Life ended
in Hiroshima
it seems,
as
as
Freedom rang
for you and me.
*August 2015 marks 70 years
since the dropping of the atom
bomb on Hiroshima
