Nuclear death.
For many decades
we all thought
our worst nightmare
that we, as a species
we would, eventually
destroy our planet
through a nuclear war.
That hellish war has not come yet.
But we, as species
found a way to destroy it anyway
using the same tool.
The atom.
The nuclear manipulation of it.
We thought we were God.
So we decided to produce energy
nuclear energy
apparently limitless
costless
safe
or so we were told
by the masters of the universe
who promoted, sold the idea
to governments and investors
fooling us and themselves
with their immense irresponsibility.
For money.
Now I know that one troubled nuclear site
just one,
out of the hundreds in existence
just one
is pouring 300 tons a day
again,
300 tons a day
of highly radioactive water
into the Pacific Ocean.
Everyday since the earthquake
and the resulting
tsunami
crashed it.
I mean, really crashed it.
And billions of radioactive particles expelled everyday
into the atmosphere.
Fukushima Daiichi Japan.
This is name of our end.
This is silently and
Oh my God
very efficiently
killing the millions of species that inhabit that vast ocean.
But radioactivity is not going to stay secluded to that area.
No, it will eventually find its way
to the last far away corner of the planet.
How ironic that the only country to suffer
the HELL of atomic explosions
embraced the same devil
so fiercely.
Sell your soul to the devil.
Never so true.
Now, Japan will be the first to
evacuate millions
in a desperate attempt to reduce
mass die off.
The rest of the world, we will die slowly.
With our flesh coming out of our bones.
Deprived of food, deprived of hope.
And the rest of the creation will die with us.
If somebody somewhere remembers us
they will say: ‘‘How arrogant, how stupid…
they killed their world…’’
