“the unleashed power of the atom changed everything
save our mode of thinking, and we thus drift toward
unparalleled catastrophes.” [- albert einstein]

in a nation for a dangerous penchant for secrecy
a dread disaster at chern-byl was concealed

as a poisoning cloud spread over the eastern bloc
alarming information was reluctantly revealed
an explosion in reactor four – a fire refusing to cease

no containment walls preventing radioactive release
evidence that peaceful technology had gone awry
more catastrophically than windscale or tmi

alert – celebration in kiev
under glowing skies – soviet lies
alert – in nearby poland
a shower of radiation
children iodized
mayday – a day of rejoice
a cry of distress

severe political fallout – toxic exchange of words
soviet obscurantism under verbal attack
abroad, outraged countries appeal for information

met with grudging riposte, hesitant placation
at home, t-ss reports no danger – nothing to fear
as deadly elemental isotopes spew into the biosphere

“the unleashed power of the atom…” – a warning from the past
the benefits of technology are reversed by careless human error
science, once a saviour, now an effective destroyer
we must apply our knowledge with care

entombed in concrete, chern-byl will forever remain
a monument to the chilling effects of negligence
