Japan Poem by Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya

America bombed Afganisthan

Nature has taken by tsunami

The first proposition is one of report

The second proposition forces us

to exclaim -Alas Alas

When Danton was dragged to the guillotine

he exclaimed-Hi Robespierre When are coming?

Soviet Russia went asunder thanks to Chernobyl

Japan is reeling in trauma

If Japan is out of breath

can America escape death

Human ignorance generated radioactive clouds

from Chernobyl

Human helplessness has put Japan

under radioactive umbrella which will protect man

from health and wealth

But suffering might make Japan

and the world wiser
