He talked in schools and wrote books /
about his experiences, /
and he appeared in a movie about survivors. //
At age 90, /
he even spoke /
at the United Nations in New York. //
“I experienced the bomb twice, /
and I sincerely request /
that there be no third one,” /
he said. //
Someone once asked Yamaguchi /
if he felt any hope about the future. //
After a few moments, /
he said, /
“I have hope for the future. /
I believe in love and in human beings.” //
His dream has already been passed on /
to younger people. //
Even the famous Canadian film director, /
James Cameron, /
met Yamaguchi /
and promised to carry on his dream. //
“I have done my duty,” /
said Yamaguchi, /
in a hospital bed /
in his last year. //
Yes, /
he has done his duty, /
truly and sincerely. //
