thren-o-dy [thren-uh-dee]: a poem, speech, or song of lamentation, esp. for the dead; dirge; funeral song.

this is creepy.
i'm currently doing an analysis on Pendericki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, and guess what the date is?
yes, it's the 6th of August.
62 years ago today, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima.

freaky.

lotsa propaganda surrounding this (and the other) nuclear bombing, with lotsa debates going on till today. so i'm not gonna go into that. it is, however, interesting to at least know both sides of the story.

may there be no more nuclear warfare (not even testings!).
amin.
luv, nat
