They said he had idlers disease
but chronic fatigue and
fatal weakness
was as real as the atomic bomb
He was genuinely ill and exhausted
radiation sickness
he was treated with cold disdain
derogatory treatment
Suffering from
invisible effects since the flash
that changed the world
Profound psychological
and physical distress
He would writhe in unbearable
agony; an endless, vicious cycle
Destruction of your family, your
work, your city followed
by discrimination and
rejection from your
own people
Every hospital sent him away
classified him as a mental patient
a hundred scars
