    The Little Girl of Hiroshima

    >>Nazim Hikmet<< I come and stand at every door... But none can hear my silent tread... I knocked, and yet remain unseen... For I am dead, for I am dead I'm only seven though I died In Hiroshima long ago I'm seven now as I was then When children die they do not grow My hair was scorched by swirling flames My eyes grew dim, grew dim and blind All that I asked is that for peace You fight today, you fight today So that the children of the world May live and grow and laugh and play I need no fruit, I need no rice I need no sweets or even bread I asked for nothing for myself For I am dead, for I am dead Death came and turn my bone to dust And that was scattered by the wind
