Lawyers have been acting to gather national votes to stop all the nuclear plants.
To their group, a letter was sent.
It was from an old lady in Fukushima.
(As I was reading it on the bus, I almost cried.)
Please know this is the nuclear disaster.
This is the world we live in.
貴会の活躍に心より感謝申し上げております。
We appreciate your devotion from our heart.
少しづつ、原発の悪魔の姿があばかれつつあり、一歩前進かと感じるこの頃です。
Gradually, we are getting to know that the nuclear is the disguised devil. We may call it an improvement.
福島第一原発の収束など永遠にあり得ません。
Fukushima disaster will never be settled. never.
このことを当事者は、永遠に隠すでしょう。
Authorities will conceal it forever.
私は仲間と傾聴ボランティアを立ち上げ、原発被災者の方々の仮設住宅を毎火曜日に回っています。
We are visiting the disaster refugee’s shelters to listen to them every Tuesday.
浪江の方が「うそばっかり、テレビも新聞も見ない」と泣かれました。
Someone from Namie cho cried, “It’s full of lies. will never read newspaper or TV.”
「いっそ浪（なみ）にのまれて死ねばよかった……」とも。
“I wish I was killed by Tsunami”, she says too.
元の地区に戻す話についても「そう言っている、お偉いさんが、まず、大切な子供、孫と住んでから言ってほしい」とも言われました。
She also says, “Authorities and EXPERTS tell us to go back to our contaminated hometown. First of all, they should live with their children and grandchildren.”
なぐさめの言葉もありません。
How could I cheer them up ?
権力者がウソをつくと言うのは本当です。
People in power deceive us. This is the truth.
日本の国づくりは根本から間違えましたし、
Japan took the wrong way from the very beginning after WWW2.
大本営発表が、この２１世紀の日本で、堂々とまかり通っている現実―日本人のおそろしさとおろかさをつくづくかみしめました。
It kills me to see Japanese people still trust their “official” announcement – full of lies.
Nothing has been learned since WWW2. I see the endless madness and stupidity of the Japanese race in today’s situation.
“闇に立ちつくす”
“Left to stand alone in the dark.”
これは全ての福島人の現実です。
This is the reality of all the Fukushima citizens.
心の底に明けぬ闇を知りつつ、必死に、けなげにここに生きています。
We know the dawn won’t come. However, we can’t help living here day after day.
そして、ここで死にます。
and we are going to die here.
罪悪と偽りを証しする人間としてです。
As evidence of all the sin, crime, evil, and deception of them.
FINAL POEM
原発は永遠（とわ）に収束せずと知る
悪の証しに吾ここに死す
Fukushima will never be settled.
I die here
to prove evil is here.
