‘Little Boy’, ‘Fat Man’:
have you ever heard of them?
Do they sound like toys:
a kind of gadgets in hands?
Look down the memory lane;
they typify human ingenuity,
pushing to the blur of periphery
its face of love, compassion.
Anniversaries are observed,
apologies tendered. Yet,
missiles fly across the globe;
genocides continue unabated
Displaced trains of humanity
treading long uncertain way
strive for rebuilding, skirting
vicissitudes of war, destruction.
