Men and women a brilliant idea they thought
That in nuclear power they may imitate
As the kind of process in the stars sought
To produce a power so as to proliferate
The earth with her people spoiling for a fight:
Two wars the earth was itself fully eclipsed
One with horses, a million men with might
Two with aircrafts, with new weapons strapped
Like a spear on ostrich egg not given of flight
With a key and lock visible, to be released:
Packed onto Enola Gay the locust’s secret
But a weapon so deadly to humans exposed
To its nuclear fission and white superheat
That burns through all skin and flesh destroyed!
And then arose the played generation new
In the art of enlightenment that ushers
On earth mobile to all gifted who knew
Thus the danger the nuclear tech usurper
Hawks encourage powers standing on pews,
High Priests of heartless schemes and pushers
Of war in the universe for humans slew
But next an event so strange; a brigadier
Of people young and dynamic: anti-nucleus
Artifice, anti-one stand up protester
Against receding powers -that-be who flew
New locust falling from the skies not manner
But the new world knows not still the object flows,
Only a peaceful bird the gliding flyer!
