road to HIROSHIMA -part 4 ruins from the past

the tram has stopped exactly in front of the A-bomb site,the old building that remains from the hiroshima bomb attack..its walls are still there holding the marks of what has happened ..ruins of the building are kept since the day they were bombarded..the japanese decided not to get the building down and preserve it..they surrounded the building with trees and fence,not to be crossed..but you are allowed to take photoz..i moved around the building and looked at it...this is the real blast from the past..the building has touched a part deep in my heart that made me feel not that i want to cry but i felt deeply sad..i kept repeating el fat7a to the people that were immediatly killed when the bomb was thrown on them,they melted or evaporated..i know that my feelings were shown on my face ,so a japanese girl hugging her boy friend just smiled at me , a hearty smile as if telling me that it is oki now ..her boyfriend was not a japanese..people from all over the world were there in hiroshima..what kept my eyes attached to the building is the presence of birds on its top that stay very silent and calm..as if they are crying over the ruins..i asked myself , are these birds some kind of souls coming back to earth to look at the place where they were killed?..do not know , but this birds'presence is so strange..the building was the opening door to feel free to step backwards into the past
