A chain reaction began with neutrons
firing at atoms producing more neutrons
which produced an exothermic apocalypse
ultimately ending a young girl’s life.
4675 days were all you were allowed.
Sadako Sasaki…
your daughter, my daughter,
Hiroshima’s child.
When violence is accepted
war and hatred is
consummated and blessed
with our thoughts and our actions.
Let me make a difference
to be as brave as
you were.
To be persistent in dream, vision and action.
To have the courage and commitment
to seek peace through nonviolence.
For you, let the chain reaction
be that of peace, love, and understanding.
