You have presented a powerful reminder in just three short lines of the fragility of life on Earth. It is up to world leaders to decide if they want to be responsible for destroying the hopes and dreams of future generations. A stark reminder.

Thank you for explaining each line signifying the loss of life and the destruction of property that happens after a nuclear bomb is dropped. It reminds me of WW2 when the United States dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and another place nearby in Japan to hopefully end the war.
It only started the Cold War, and we have lived under the threat of nuclear weapons ever since. This haiku captures the essence quite well, along with the artwork of reds and blues signifying darkness.

    Let's hope this issue sparks reflection and discussion in other people's lives as well. The threat of nuclear war is real and it won't go away unless we make it go away.
