My thoughts, now…



 

Horrible beam, heat, and wind…struck people

What were they really…to the people?

 

Precious lives lost in an instant, on that day of A-bombing

We shall never forget that day. Must we not forget, I think now

The mankind wishes a circle of peace expanding throughout the world to secure a beautiful green environment and clean water and air.


I think about people who are suffering even now from the A-bomb induced diseases sixty-two years after the incidence. My heart is frozen from the fear and the thought of foolishness of war.

 

May the “Pledge for Peace” expand in the entire world

May we have a blessing of clean air and water, and

Green environment, then

Mutual smiles
