Simon and Garfunkel

 


The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are droning in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky

Now the sun is in the west
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the west

Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low

Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth

Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain, and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared


Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the rays turn the minutes to hours and the
days turn those minutes to years?

 


 

Come here and tell me about all

your suffering, pain and lose.

Please tell me how I should feel? There are two special people I have come to know recently. Both were born in the mid 1920s. The first person I came to know is my Japanese friend Inami Makoto who is 81 years old and lives in Japan today. The other person is Normand Brissette a fellow U.S. Navy serviceman, who would be 79 years old today if he had not died in Japan in 1945.

The first lives today because the United States of America missed him when they dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. However, U.S. Navy serviceman Normand Brissette died from the bomb's radiation, and it was an excruciating death.

In my efforts to deal with the what has happened and to live among a generation that has no idea of what it meant to grow up with the prospects of total planetary nuclear annihilation; I have finally come to see the Light when my country brought the sun to earth. Those who cast the sun on others will go to the sun, but those who can see the Son come to earth to take His children out of the nuclear fire will find that the light that took their earthly sight became the Light of The Son in Eternity.

I hope you see The Light soon.
