I am now in the western area of Japan
My hometown is further east and north
I was born on South Island in Japan, south and west of where I live in now
I live in a medium-sized city
I can see many things that I could not see in my hometown
Museums, downtown, places associated with the atomic bomb
Hiroshima where I live in now
I stand on the inferno where, along with Nagasaki, the U.S. committed genocide and human experimentation here in 1945

Hi Andy, thank you for your comment. I think we just look at the reality and do what we can do.
Hello from Tokyo. It is a plan to go and see Hiroshima one day. I have been to Nagasaki and traveled around the region as a pilgrimage. One day, they shall feature in poetry from this writer's pen. Thanks for sharing.
