Poem by Famous Nuclear Whistleblower

If you don't know who Mordecai Vanunu is, I urge you to visit this website as well as Vanunu's own website.

Mordecai needs YOUR help. He has been held under house arrest in Israel for decades after being imprisoned for spilling nuclear secrets to the British. He is a brave and honest man who deserves his freedom to travel wherever he pleases and speak to whomever he pleases.

Hiroshima – 50 Years

by Mordechai Vanunu

Hiroshima Hiroshima
My beloved Hiroshima
Your sons daughters elders wives
Blew radiated with an Atomic Bomb
A radioactive cloud consumed rubbed out Hiroshima
Hiroshima Hiroshima
For a live nuclear test sentenced you
a nuclear laboratory of children women trees animals
in and under nuclear mushroom live burning
burned flattened to ground radioactive ash- Hiroshima

Hiroshima Hiroshima
Nuclear weapons gamblers win against you '
a U.S. revenge for Pead Harbour
Hiro-shima Japan heroism is the target
wipe out rain Hiro - Hero- shima - Truman
Hiroshima Hero- shima
Japan and U.S. betrayed you Hero Hiroshima
silence forget Hiroshima Atomic tragedy
Japan sacrifices your holocaust on the Yen altar
Hollywood doesn't know you - you are not a Jewish Holocaust
Hiroshima Hiroshima
Ant-nuclear weapons campaigners adopting your
orphans. Heritage of Hiroshima our heroes
carry preach the memory message of Hiroshima
to the future ages to end nuclear gamblers.
Beginning and end of nuclear weapons. Hiroshima. Hero.
Hiroshima. Hero. Hero. Hero.

Presented at the exhibition Hiroshima Sans Amour
