The quintessential, ambush predators
are they
who camouflaged in code names
like Little Boy* or Fat Man**
thwapped out their tongues
of hatred and pride
to ambush their prey…..
Who are their prey?
Ask those specters
who lived in the 1940’s
in the area of Hiroshima
or Nagasaki….
*Atom Bomb for Hiroshima
**Atom Bomb for Nagasaki

Quite a powerful poem
Some of the darkest chapters of history. May such devastation never happen again.
Ouch! In few words, indict a generation of “leaders”! Working in secret as well as camouflage, they must have known humans would object. Amazing poetry!
A sad and powerful write Sumana.
We never seem to learn by history and weaponry appears to indicate an awful kind of a nations power.

The horror of those atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the deliberate killing of thousands of innocent people to teach the military and government a lesson in order to shorten the prolonged battle. In war nobody wins.
One would have expected humankind would have rejected that level of carnage on the spot. But, sadly, we didnt. I pray it never happens again.
All in the name of peace. Powerful poem, Sumana.
A powerful and heart wrenching poem – well said
Such cute names for horrible bombs!
Yes, it is a time of such devastation in the name of peace. Powerful writing Sumana!!
Powerful. Predators who groom us with nice sounding names.
The lost souls , who were all feed for the bomb, when will this human hunger for power end?
