Despairs of Hiroshima

A flash of light

Ever so bright

The rays of heat

Making me feel beat

The light got brighter

I felt so much lighter

I was thrown across the room

By the blast of the giant cloud shaped like mushroom

Scratches, bruises covered my body

Radiation filling my cells amply

I felt weak

I could not speak

Pain surged through my veins

Hiroshima left in remains

I looked out of the room

Staring straight at me, the face of doom

The whole city in rubble

Covered in gravel

As I dug my way out of a collapsed building

I found many bleeding

Many people dead

It hurt me to see all this bloodshed

The city up in flames

Having only the atomic bomb to blame

A perfect day

Turned upside down

I was filled with dismay

Upon my face a strong frown

I felt my body limp

Upon a stretcher

I heard cries of agony

As people lay injured on the hospital ground awfully

Loved ones lost

Into the mass graves they were tossed

An arrow through my heart

From earth they depart

Being fortunate to survive

I treasured so much I was still alive

To see people collapse radiation stricken

A fatal omen

I live until today

To tell my story, forever in my heart it stays

The pain I suffered

Especially from seeing my loved ones battered...
