Firestorms

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I hear that energy is indestructible. It changes forms, but remains somewhere in the universe. Some people claim to hear the sounds from history.

I wonder what the Hiroshima victims would have said, and is there someone around with the sensitivity to get the message? Did they say something about the immense pain of being destroyed for somebody else’s battles? Do their unfulfilled hopes and dreams still linger around somewhere?

I like to think the souls migrated to some other planet. The hatred here was so intolerable. Perhaps, that planet is getting crowded, with increasing migration.

  5. Humans seem to be the most destructive through impulsivity and greed. Tragic. Haunting questions you raise, not quite sure where we fit in the universal scheme of it all. Excellent haiku.
