GAZA OR HIROSHIMA

 Hiroshima city before and after the nuclear bomb blast in 1945. PU

Their mantra was ‘EFFACE’

So necropolises grew of that

They are still very much living

And counting beads in darkness

Chanting the same old mantra

There is no escape

Can’t ring in the “Christ that is to be”*

Sigh…….

 

 

*from 106^th verse of Tennyson’s In Memoriam
