Chernobyl Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery
Chernobyl
Sacrificing themselves
Not flinching in duty
Lives cut short
Peril effecting those yet to be born.
Cities, towns, villages evacuated
Millions moved from radiation pollution
Fallout covering half the planet
Nowhere safe from deadly fallout rain.
Honour the Liquidators
Dying capping Reactor Four
Supreme effort of human endeavour
Giving lives saving millions.
Still they die the children of Chernobyl
Born deformed, cancer ridden
Dead and buried before teenage years
Exclusion zone lasting three thousand years.
Four at the nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Russia. Huge clouds
of radioactive gases and debris rose five miles into the
atmosphere depositing hazardous material across the globe.
Hundreds of people, known as Liquidators, gave their lives
o clean up the damage.
