My father was walking the front of a Japan Red Cross hospital. At the gate, middle-aged lady was dead with black burned body. Moreover hot sun is so shining that her belly is swollen like as a balloon. Her face is swell out so that nobody confirms with her. My father was searching some person so that he went through the gate. The yard in the Red Cross hospital, many people was dead beating full into their body by a burning sun. A dead people who sit down the edge of a flower bed, A dead people who lie down by a garden plant, Their body swelled out like a balloon. And only a band was left in the body, for that reason swollen like a gourd-shape, There was much dead body like that. Approach at a dead body, the sound from her/his mouth "pu-cpu-c," My father thought (Oh! Still alive!), then he looked closer. So it was thought she/he is still breathing, but that was froth at the mouth. All the body was burned, she/he died with belly is full by the sun shinning, So it was emitting the gas from the mouth and nose cause of entrails ulcerates. And it could hear the sound of the emitting gas "pu-cpu-c," from the mouth in the dead in all quarters. At the entrance of a Red Cross hospital, the dead fell on top of one another The people who got away at a Red Cross hospital, a heavy skin burned people or a serious injury people fell after coming at here, so was knocked over like dominoes that it left nowhere to put her/his feet. But a doctor and nurse is not here. My father got in the building taking care not to step into a large number of dead A ghastly number of people were dead in a big room. The dead body was scorched black, which was closely packed in the room. A cadaver is holding out one's her/his arm or leg, was dead by its own figure so in confusion then messed up that it can't deal with. My father is looking at these sight, and thought only him inside the building but five or six others with cheerful were come into. A female teacher with large tears trickling took a memo one by one ask to a pupil who is still breathing" Where do you live? Name? Family?" " I call your father and your mother soon, so feel at ease ".she said. " Sir, thank you" replied at that. My father walks through and hearing at his step, a black burned boy with his eyes closed "Mister! Mister! Give me the water" said so " there, there " then saying so, a canteen he brought, to put a boy's mouth, made him gulp down. Knowing that by intuition, near by a black burned boy also " Me too! Me too!" said, so much water was dried up at the third. My father got out a Japan Red Cross hospital.

The anniversary of the end of the Pacific War The Pacific War was end at August 15th in 1945 Atomic bomb made definitive this war The Allied powers win an overwhelming victory Japan was no more resistance The head of Japanese army Their mind was out of date Beside they did not have a radar National power compare with America It was 1/30 Japanese one boat Against American 30 boats send to the bottom It was impossible

In the first place Troop strength was different Japanese army did a battle with Russia in advance Where was Nomonnhan Then was overpowered by their new arms Japanese army didn't think over that reality Then a few years later They attacked on pearl harbor Recklessly!

The time changed Recent some young guy I wonder if they don't know? "America and Japan once did the war"

Sure she is a beautiful girl Her face is only mild like an angel She does not have any hurting part against other person Her figure is nice And her fashion feeling is very nice thing I thought I loved her

I would keep company with her She might be change me something about my life I followed her It might be happy to getting along with her Not so long It is a short term

After a piling date I could know her She is non-stop smoker She insists only buy a dress She is not a soft mind She is a rather unyielding sprit girl Despite her appearance

At last I gave up to get hitch with her To get live together is good thing I can't deny that It might be nice thing! In this case It's on me Outcome it will be end to divorce

Real love What is this? We can not catch easily that If you get real love It might be have an illusion Or, it is miracle isn't it You must say "Thank you God"

A definition on love It is real difficult! How many persons can get real heart? Love! Hate! We have both in our mind It is like the tow poles

I feel sorry that my viewpoint on love is not necessarily positive thinking. That is comes from my fault and loss of hope. Of course, I want to see that love is best thing in our life. Jesus Christ said "love" as his main theme!

I had a chance To talk with her She is an old over seventy years old woman Never comes back her life She spills the beans

She once had a loved man She loved him very much But he got out from her Maybe he got a next girl I don't know that kind of details It is her privacy I can't step in my foot in her life

Her matter is She says on him Spiteful guy! I don't want to listen at her remorse Never come back again! Life is only one

She said "If I did so in that time, it would become a good outcome" She has a deep-seated grudge at him But she is already old Never come back Old time memory Her life is herself

Then I think If she did so Outcome is all right? My answer is no! Our life And love! We can't handle In our hand Not freely!

The bee hive I don't know why the bee makes a hive in my house Under the eaves or a tin roof where used a pigeon house Like a small wind-bell A black and yellow with striped pattern bees gather at their hive A bee put into a hexagonal hole They fly out somewhere They come back again Open a cover on the pit, newborn baby They comes and goes in a narrow surface on their bee hive Sometimes they are quiet, but all the time they are buzzing I used to hit down like this so far But July in every year they make a hive somewhere in the house At last they became my pets in the house Bees also may love this house since then before the War A different bigger bee so far begun to make a bee hive under the eaves in wash room In the rainy season in 1961 I say this social group is not many, only 5 or 6 numbers. To tell the truth I did not know when they begun to make a bee hive I got know from my mother In case of observation from a passage I was firstly surprised at a big bee than usual. It is a serious matter if I was stung by like these bees Therefore I was not go against as soon as possible Insect of bees, they are extremely gentle but If it harms them and make a mad Trying to grab at someone and prick with a needle in the tail If get stung by, it is very hurt! So family members did not do any thing just only look at However I am different If any there is like this thing, I want to do something to get show that reaction Since I stick at bees in the hive with a fly swatter The bee rustles in a moment, they get set to a battle One of them hurl upon a fly swatter and stings that In the while making fun of them, I thought they are an easy mark Because a bee is not so simply stub their enemy This thing was my big mistake

l My composition in my boyhood l I keep on next day

It was one day soon coming in summer time at July When I go back from school, My father taught me "The bee made a hive side of where pigeon hut" I felt interested in at once, so climbed up a ladder on the roof And looked a far side from the corner of a pigeon hut Really they were building it To a vinyl sheet which fitting up by a hut, they were making a hive In a small beehive, the black long-leg bees and yellow bees are about ten I was filled with wonder at the sight involuntarily These bees are a size smaller body than one at where rest room But they were many numbers I had noticed myself two feelings running in my brain One, a vinyl sheet is trembling in the breeze all the time Then a beehive is swinging together with So that I couldn't stop to feel uneasy about that One more, I wanted to reserve this lived specimen for long time I was a naked body merely my short because it is hot day This is a fiasco too I had nothing afraid of a bee yet So I was watching about a foot distant from a beehive However I am not a disagreeable nature if it was not pick at Since I thought to tease a bee like as usual, though I worried about getting stung by, because I was so close at that Therefore I behave myself that, thinking about to not rocking a beehive by the wind, Supported by a chip of wood there was on the roof, then a vinyl cover move The bees begun to buzz And a bee separates from his house, to stop at a point of the vinyl sheet He gazed at me In that time I was so really scared that got ready off to run away A bee flies suddenly off from, he came to my upper lip I was so astonished that brushed off a few times with my right hand reflexively It can't get off him, then I felt an acute pain instantly Without realizing what I was doing, like a figure of that gorilla is walking, Run away in a rush on the roof, where was a tin roof so that a big banging made off Just in time again the droning of wings, another bee perched at my thigh And he stings me yet again I was barely getting off at where the safe place to stand the pain Then under the roof my mother who was kitchen work "What on earth such sound is! Do not run on the roof! Who are you on there!" She scolded with anger voice so that I was given unpleasant feeling The bees is still humming around their beehive I was angry, if it hits down their hive, but then I had in my mind to leave alone I touch my lip smart with pain inside a pigeon house It becomes swollen very much Checking my thigh, a wound gets red develop swollen in the around It is very hurt can't stand any more After about ten minutes staying in the hut it came to lose a pain more and more When I came down, my mother said with angry voice "Where is the sugar? You would provably take the sugar?" "No, I don't take" I retorted with pouting out my lips and get in my room To tell the truth, when I came back from school I discovered some sugar at a cupboard in the kitchen So I tasted the sugar all of them * I look in a mirror then my upper lip was swollen discordantly To see it "Your thick lip is getting thick further-more!" my mother laughed I thought to give retaliation against the bees in this time I had a supper and climb up on the roof again

*I had a sweet tooth in childhood. I loved to taste the sugar. Now I am a drinker. *I will stop here.
