This happened near the core
Of a world's culture. This
Occurred among higher things.
This was a philosophical conclusion.
Everybody gets what he deserves.
The bare drab rubble of the place.
The dull damp stone. The rain.
The emptiness. The human lack.

Alan Bold

Our job is to try
To change things.
After Hiroshima
You ask a poet to sing.
