A heartfelt message from Kazuhiko Kobayashi

Posted: 7th August 2020

On the 75th anniversary of Hiroshima:

Dear friends,

August 6 is back. So again this year I think of that day in Hiroshima.

August 9th will come three days later. So again this year I think of that day in Nagasaki.

Can you imagine

how did innocent civilians, including children, women in the immediate vicinity of the explosion burned and evaporated in seconds?

and

how agonizingly innocent civilians, including children, women, died within a week, a month after the atomic bomb had been dropped

from a major burn and from radioactive pollution?

and

in what great despair and fear did people live, young and old, from the day of the atomic bomb exposure on

in fear for their rest of the life, to get cancer at sometime? .......And in fact, a large number of them had to die of cancer

caused by the radioactive radiation and fallout.

Can you imagine

that the hydrogen bomb, which was further developed after the Hiroshima atomic bomb, has about 1 0 0 0 times greater destructive power?

and

that today 9 states worldwide have a total of 1 4, 5 2 5 atomic bombs?

and

that not only almost all people, but probably the majority of most types of earthly life will go out in a flash

if a portion of these nuclear weapons should be deployed?

and

that the last day of the whole world could come today, tomorrow,

the day after tomorrow, even every hour, every minute, every second?

Can you imagine

what that last day would look like?

If it comes, no matter through wars or human error or other circumstances, it is irreversible. then everything is lost …....

So we have to wake up even more people around the world, before everything gets too late.

With solidary greetings

==============================================

At the last stage of my life I have only one wish:

To speak out of my innermost soul,

To follow my conscience

To act for the suffering, innocent children and

To fight for our unique, beautiful and irreplaceable earth,

which is now increasingly polluted world-wide and

crying for help silently.
