We observe the anniversaries of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Reminders once again that war is a failure of reason. It is a failure to be as mankind might - a rational being dedicated to honoring the great gift of life. War and destruction have cut short millions of lives. Conflict has diverted humanity from the progress that is yet within reach: to eradicate disease, provide food, water, and an unlimited potential for abundance to all. There is sadness for what we might have been, yet hope that we have learned.
We stumble blind without the light of reason.
[Hiroshima]
rising sun-
the unforgettable...
remembered
[Nagasaki]
rising sun-
below a man-made sun...
and its shadows
rising sun-
a deep silence follows
groaning earth
