O could I fly, I’d fly with Lord’s angels!
Fear of nuclear attack. For this reason
In every season
Even the sweet groves and a rural retreat
Stare at me, a stranger to joy.
Since the uranium triumph
No longer our earth climbs the golden stair
Tears do never leave her cheek
No longer blithesome innocent
No longer vernal blooms
Only the sordid sting..
They fail to understand
What it is to live with nuclear fallout
Mass Destruction Weapons
Our newest rulers point to one end
Extinction of Earth
Lo, how pale the dawn! how sullied buds.
Lo, wolfs and hawks beguile
The beak and claws
Desecrate flowery greens and streams.
Nuclear attack. That dreary moment.
Piercing scream everywhere
The sun, heaven, earth, ocean
Victim of a sadist’s insanity
And Pity is witness to my pensive cries
In a withered rose garden
