From Tokyo we sailed a day and two nights,
And arrived in Hiroshima in the early morning light.

After the day at sea was again comfortably spend,
With a great wine tasting event.

This was the only city in the world that was destroyed by an atomic attack.
But the resilient residents have built it back

Bigger then it was ever before,
While praying destruction will happen no more.

They work very hard and built the Mazda car,
That it is shipped very far.

And it is mostly the steel industry ,
That drives the local economy

There are many Memorials to remind the world what happened here,
To never forget the effects of a war that was more then severe.

Spring flowers and some tress are already in bloom,
And uniformed men clean the streets with a hand made broom

No visible tattoos or slouching man with their pants hanging low,
But well dressed business man on the go.

Western cities every where,
No longer seem to compare.

Traffic moves steady and disciplined, directed by signs of all sorts
But no were screaming bill boards

A pleasant day in a city that was once no more
But that resurfaced with an even stronger core

This stop made us realize that no matter what happens in life
Human beings if they have a change, do their best to survive.
