Witnesses before
us
speaking of our
history
the truth
painful
of the ripples,
the consequence
war on this
world
The whole nation
in memory, in
sorrow
people of their
country
all of them
swept away
shaken by
disaster
Reeling from the
power
sudden, in an
instant
unleashing of
the atoms
the enormity of
their sorrow
more than they
can stand
