Fukushima Forever

We were lucky

after they split the atom

that it took us so long 

to destroy ourselves.

My generation flourished

in the USA when it was

the greatest country, 

prosperous beyond belief,

in a functioning democracy,

that ended when Kennedy 

was killed. Then, a steady

downward spiral for which

Johnson was the poster child.

The Sixties happened because

we knew the threat. the evil…

it was an attempt to switch

attention…almost unconscious,

instinctive, because, we were

beginning to feel the water boil.

A spiritual awakening happened, 

too little and too late.

Now, in the media, the messages 

are so mixed, so contradictory

and outrageous, that it surely 

points to something horribly 

wrong. There no longer is a

standard for public discourse,

guns take over where lips

have failed.

Now, the people coming along,

don’t want to see or hear…they’ve

been trained, and they know that

anyone who does speak out risks

their lives. They begin to doubt

themselves and depression fills

their hearts.

And it’s all been predicted by

everyone. Fukushima, gourd

of ashes, ending this age of man.
