“If you hear: I died
and I was dear to your heart
Maybe something inside you will also suddenly turn gray…
Have you ever at all thought about the true meaning of life? Like snow on your palm, childhood melting away in you.
Worries…. Are there any worries? Sorrows… Are there any sorrows?
On the ladder of imagination boldly climb up to your youth. That beautiful but enticing rainbow is waiting for you over there.”(1)

It was October 25, 1955 when Sadako Sasaki died. She was only 12 years old. Ten years earlier at the beginning of August 1945 when Sadako was only two years old two Atomic Bombs were dropped at Hiroshima on 6th and Nagasaki on the 8th of August 1945 by the United States of America. Sadako survived but she was irradiated and her fight to survive lasted for 10 years.

Sadako couldn’t live her life like the rest of us. She couldn’t follow to
“Live it to the very last drop. Don’t nibble days like a mouse.
Chew the air with all your teeth.
Run faster than the winds and the birds. Overtake them all.” (2)

But she had a dream!

She wanted to fold 1000 Cranes to be granted a wish. The simple wish to live life like all of us, or if that would not be possible then to be granted a space in the sky among the cranes. To eternally fly above as the only thing she probably cared for is
“to remain silly in your(our) eyes and strangely dear to your(our) heart.” Then,
“At night, when you look up to the sky,
you give me a wink too, and
let it be a secret.” (3) Tonight dear fellow human beings look at the sky and I am sure if your wish is genuine and your soul open you will see Sadako winking to you! Wink back and smile!

Sadako, our dear Sadako Sasaki lives with us! Her story is to stay as a warning to all blind and deaf, to all saying ” it will not happen to me.” It is eternal warning about insanity governing those who should have humanity and peace as their guidance. Those that dropped two Atomic Bombs and then made estimates about how many deaths occurred with, to repeat, dropping two Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and on 8th of August 1945. So, “The Joint Commission’s estimates for the dead and injured at Hiroshima were that, out of 255,200 inhabitants at the time of the bombing, 64,500 (25.5%) had died by mid-November 1945, and an additional 72,000 (27%) had been injured. At Nagasaki, there was considerably more uncertainty about the population at the time of the bombing, but the Joint Commission settled on the figure of 195,290 inhabitants, out of which 39,214 (20.1%) had been killed by mid-November 1945, and 25,153 (12.9%) were injured.” Here is the link to the “estimates,” that has some important statements and pictures!

What has left from humanity is for the destroyers to make estimates and reports!

195,290 inhabitants is the number the “commission settled” for. So they “settled” and they “estimate.” If we continue to estimate that at least half of the “settled ” number lost the possibility to make family and at least two kids then the estimate for the victims raises to another 160000 thousands and if we continue to estimate that one third of those 160000 thousand would get married and have one kid we come to the “estimated” number of another 50000 kids that did not even get a chance to be born and live the life we are living. Anyone made the “estimate” how many new Nikola Tesla, Einstein, Darwin, Kelvin, JFK, Lincoln, Edison, Newton were lost? Or they did not even thought about it as Japanese are other race? Shame is very little word to explain what those doing estimates should feel. So we could explain the estimates by saying that the dropping of two Atomic Bombs by United States of America to Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were immeasurable loss for all humanity!

So who made that decision and was not held accountable by any International Court? The decision has been made by then president Truman who won the vice presidential ticket over Henry A. Wallace the previous vice president of the Franklin D. Roosevelt the three terms President of the United States of America, the man , the statesman and very rare personality for the times we live in today. Wish we had one more FDR now! Just NOW!

Truman won vice presidential nomination and became the president of the United States of America after FDR death on April 12, 1945! Truman needed only four months to decide to use Atomic Bomb for the first time in the known history of humanity. Four months! Four months towards “estimated” 195,290 immediate casualties.

Sadako went to join her cranes when she died at the age of 12 on October 25, 1955 at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. Songs were composed and poem written about the tragedy of Sadako Sasaki.

Below is the poem from Russian Rasul Gamzatov translated by Leo Schwartzberg, an American poet

“CRANES
Sometimes I feel that all those fallen soldiers,
Who never left the bloody battle zones,
Have not been buried to decay and molder,
But turned into white cranes that softly groan.

And thus, until these days since those bygone times,
They still fly in the skies and gently cry.
Isn’t it why we often hear those bell chimes
And calmly freeze while looking in the sky?

A tired flock of cranes still flies – their wings flap.
Birds glide into the twilight, roaming free.
In their formation I can see a small gap –
It might be so, that space is meant for me.

The day shall come, when in a mist of ashen
I’ll soar with cranes, and final rest I’ll find,
From the skies calling – in a bird-like fashion –
All those of you who I’ll have left behind.

Sometimes I feel that all those fallen soldiers,
Who never left the bloody battle zones,
Have not been buried to decay and molder
But turned into white cranes that softly groan…”

Who says that humanity is minority! Humans are everywhere and they need to take the future in their own, our own hands! Russian poem translated by American poet!

The story that started during American Civil War will not be allowed to stop by disastrous creatures running the current show. Regarding that and some extremely interesting correspondence about Nicholas Roerich, Henry Wallace and many more surrounding the US Dollar note you will read here shortly.

In the meantime have in mind that : “The last borders of infinity are just the beginning of more endless.
He who lasts longer than more lasting knows not for short term knowledge.”(4)
