The passing of the 75th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been duly, solemnly and respectfully noted, and acknowledged.
But still the fruits of the arms race, the Cold War remain, tucked safely away in their silos and shelters, awaiting their call to arms.
The man who is arguably the most powerful man in the World still carries a briefcase, every day, with the necessary codes to launch a nuclear strike...
The doomsday clock is still set at Two Minutes to Midnight.
Two minutes, and counting...
To quote from Roger Waters' song, The tide is turning...
"Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten my self with the thought of my little ones burning...".
The past didn't go away, just because something else grabbed our attention.
It's still there, it''s still real.
Hug your children, and tell them that you love them.
🙂
