HIROSHIMA -NAGASAKI; RAJASTHANI POEM BY RAJU BIRJANIA
Hiroshima -Nagasaki
"Sir ! This is proposed
Mahajan Field Firing Range."
Saying so
He pointed with finger
On lines of map
On a space covered by thumb
Walls of our homes were shaken
And cracks appeared in them
They kept on clapping
With utter confidence
On their success
Ceilings of our houses
Floor of courtyard
Disappeared abruptly
For them
It was a sheer place
Covered with thumb
For us glorious identity
Since generations.
As soon as
They signed
Official documents
Our names
Started vanishing from map
Our villages turned into
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
