The Women at home prayed for
victory as their men departed for the battlefields.But then the blood of countless peoples was shed on the vast continents
and the far away islands.
Finally,in 1945 as the
war escalated,it brought the tragedies of the Okinawa islands followed by
the inhuman atomic bomb attacks over Hirosima on the 6th and Nagasaki on
the 9th of August.
Ah!On that unforgettable
day,in an instaptaneous blast of indescribable heat,the bodies of tens of
thousands of men and women,mathers and children were hideously torn and
burnt to death.
After more than forty years,the
agony continues even yet.Danger
signs of a second nuclear war permeate our very existepce.The earth stands at the brink of total
ablivion.
We must not allow any more
war!Nor the use of atomic
weapons!Let us guard our
precious green earth and preserve all life of every kind.
We erect this relief,still
hearing the bursting cries on that day of each of those women long silenced
in death.Bringing together
all the turmoil from the depths of their tortured hearts and minds,we pledge
ourselves never to repeat that disaster.
