To end the war with Japan, on Aug. 6 and Aug. 9, 1945 President Truman authorized the dropping of two atomic bombs made by allied powers (USA and UK) from uranium-235 and plutonium-239 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on Aug. 14. Although the action undoubtedly saved many American lives by bringing the war to an end, the morality of the decision is still debated.
O! America!
Look what it is you have spawned
Neither you alone nor Japan
This fixed atrocity’s dreary dawn
Was born a child of modern man
Skulking beside mankind’s river
Your beast treks past in fresh delight
At this, human's radiated massacre
Lone demise of earth’s delicate flowers
Who’ll come laughing when the wind
Has blown a crater through the world
When living creatures crack and split
Their marrow choking out the sun
Hope witnesses this dreadful throat
Souls quenched in flattery’s chalice
Empire’s would be kings undone
Thrones and pedestals join the skies
in naked dominion
