One second is all it take to push a button
One second is all to change wifes into widows
for thousand of voices t cry out
and then to be silence forever
The date is August 6th , 1945
and on that morning the sun rose not from the East
but fro the middle of the city of Hiroshima
Honorable judges, teachers and students
I am here today to talk about the lesson I've learned from Hiroshima. And What it means to me
This summer marks the 60th anniversary of the end of world war II
Today most American students still believe that the use of Nuclear Weapons was right. This may because
their history books mostly talks about " how" the bomb was released and not mush on what damage it did
One TV program showed an American Nuclear scientist and Hiroshima bomb victim talking .
The bomb victim asked for an apology but the American Scientist said," Remember Pearl Harbor. My heart ached when I saw the sad look at the victim face.
And I am not here to blame American. I really don't understand all the reason for and against the use of Nuclear weapons. but one that I do understand .
Nuclear weapons kill anybody and everything .
It does not care if you are a soldier or civilian.
It does not care if you are a man or pregnant mother
It does not care if you are terrorist or innocent child.
Stopping Nuclear weapon is up to us as children. World peace begins with understanding other cultures accepting them, not as foreigner but as fellow beings.
I am a Japanese girl but I am one with the boy in Afghanistan . Crying because he's hungry. I am one with the old woman stand in her basement as bomb explode outside.
I stand here alone but I am one with million of children around the world that one shouting .
We, the children of the world demand to be heard.
We the children of he world demand peace and the end of Nuclear weapon
We the children of the world demand this right became it is our future at stake.
To conclude
We the children of the world can make different when people talk about hate let us stand up talk about love
when people talk about war, let us stand and talk about peace
Hiroshima has taught me that in the face oh death we must always honor of life.
Thank you
