'' Mass Destruction Was Our Final Act '' Poem by Bri Mar

As the world entered a nuclear age,
Progression was the promise made,
With nature we were to disengage,
A heavy price would soon be paid.

Millions killed by a nuclear device,
Then they dropped another,
Their intention then was clear and concise,
A country's aggression they'd smother.

This awesome power created by mankind,
Was just too good to be true,
Splitting the atom we'd soon find,
Was biting off more than we could chew.

Free electricity for all was the claim,
Energy safe and totally clean,
We know no their promises were pretty lame,
Humans don't know the meaning of green.

Nuclear energy was their Holy Grail,
Energy shortages this power would relieve,
When Chernobyl's reactor began to fail,
The destruction they just couldn't believe.

Both civilian and military use this awesome power,
Over nuclear disasters we have no control,
Thought up by those in their ivory tower,
This will tear out the planet's very soul.

We don't even know what to do with the waste,
It's a power that will eventually destroy,
Just the use of it leaves a terrible taste,
As for weapons who'll be the first to deploy.

Nuclear meltdown will be the ultimate result,
No ifs or buts that's a fact,
As into the abyss we all catapult,
