    It was an average, hot day in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Home to the Japanese army’s Second General Headquarters, yet also home to 280,000 civilians, 43,000 military personnel, and 20,000 Korean forced laborers (Gray, Paul, and Kunii). Everything had been running accordingly, adults going to their jobs, school children assisting in the cleaning of the streets, until they saw a foreign object, hurling at them at a fast speed. It exploded before anyone had the chance to choke out the work ‘bomb’, leaving the menace behind the death trap, President Truman,a villain to Japan. The Japanese had attacked multiple places before the bombing occurred, including cities such as Shanghai, Manchuria, and most famously, Pearl Harbor.…

Motion mentions throughout his poem, religious icons and places: “Take Eden, further South”, “That gorgeous fruit”, “Take Babylon”, Take Tigris and Euphrates”. These iconic Middle eastern places of historic importance, legend or of religious importance are then shown to be wasted and ruined: “tear away/Its walls and gates”, I Have filled them up/With countless different kinds of human crap”. This sense of waste and unholy destruction give the reader the sense of destruction and chaos that war causes and this recurring waste that is the result. These poems demonstrate the pointlessness of some conflicts and how it can have a huge detrimental affect on life and the environment around us, and it reminds the reader that in war nothing is protected, no matter how sacred or…
