Chernobyl was just a sign, an indication of the crime.
Collaboration by the human race in a malodorous disgrace.
I don’t speak of the lies about how safe it was
but of the game that despised living things, the foul
infiltration of mendacity that bleated maxims,
mantras. No side was innocent, all implicated.
Patriotic sacrifices were expected. Nothing
visible leaked out until those babies in the Pacific
but that was later. Every Australian home is a fallout shelter
said Titterton and we hated him. From the Urals
to Ohio we were saved from each other. Polynesia
sacrificed for three competitors in the Pacific sea
and now the subcon, as the smart set call it,
may be the next for some nuclear fallout and babies
arrive as though no threat was down the wind ...
not yet, not yet ... we will forget, we will forget.
