Humanity is clearly off course
\nOne now has to feel
\nWe lack realisation
\nAnd somehow we conceal
\nThe obvious awful danger
\nTo the wider public who
\nLive their lives as best they can
\nBut remain unseeing, who
\nIn their right mind would gamble
\nFor so many years ahead
\n100,000 years to be exact
\nThat\u2019s what they said<\/p>\n
A repository for nuclear waste
\nSpent fuel so to say
\nHidden in the granite rock
\nCreating a doomsday
\nScenario for future generations
\nWho will find
\nThe evil that was put in place
\nAnd may just blow their mind<\/p>\n
Oikiluoto Nuclear Plant
\nIn Eurajoki will
\nSee encapsulation and burial
\nThe fill
\nSome awesome violent radio active
\nSpent fuel rods and they
\nWill be encapsulated and buried
\nPerhaps till judgement day<\/p>\n
The strategy of long term storage
\nAn arrogance of today
\nThe stupidity of possessing
\nA wonderful array
\nOf nuclear authority
\nA radio active threat
\nThat lasts so many lifetimes
\nA truly enormous debt<\/p>\n
And the world continuing
\nThe process seems to me
\nTo be the work of madness
\nOf utter insanity
\nOf an arrogance beyond the meaning
\nOf the word today
\nOf an adverseness and a repugnance
\nThat others will have to pay<\/p>\n
We are creating prototypes
\nAnd the enormity
\nOf risk that\u2019s clearly present
\nInto eternity
\nIt\u2019s astonishing to contemplate
\nThe ignorance of man
\nThe supremacy of science
\nThat\u2019s prevalent in this plan<\/p>\n
Supreme beings we are not
\nStill wet behind the ears
\nWe hardly have begun to walk
\nHumility my dears
\nIs being now consigned to depths
\nIn granite bedrock where
\nFuture souls my flourish
\nBut still be unaware<\/p>\n
Of true decomposition
\nOf erosion and of wear
\nCopper for example
\nMany are unaware
\nOf the true integrity
\nThe unspoiled percentage may
\nstill be very active
\nAt the buck end of the day<\/p>\n
Deterioration sadly
\nMay not be as they felt
\nWith inadequate science
\nThe cards have all been dealt
\nIn quite the state of order
\nAnd turmoil may result
\nWe are of an unhinged mindset
\nWhich becomes a vast insult<\/p>\n
We are now at the beginning
\nThe newness we can see
\nThere will be teething troubles
\nInto infinity
\nWe are embryonic
\nHopeful that our way
\nForward into darkness
\nWill create the light of day<\/p>\n
For me that\u2019s rather difficult
\nFor a bard perhaps can\u2019t dare
\nTo occupy his mind with thoughts
\nThat lead him to despair
\nA scattering of light forms
\nGive creation to more thought
\nOn potential algorithms
\nThat science might support<\/p>\n
So many generations
\nWill answer to this plan
\nEnlightenment was lacking
\nWhen twenty first century man
\nDiscovered radiation
\nWith its enduring weight
\nImmortal and unending
\nWith its fickleness for fate<\/p>\n
The womb of time continues
\nReincarnated souls
\nNewly born and genetical\u2019s
\nAnd invigorated trolls
\nAll the variant equations
\nOf trans people will be
\nSubject to the same risks
\nAnd possibly you and me<\/p>\n
We will be seen as the primitives
\nThe savages of soul
\nThe indigenous awakening
\nThe bygone ancients role
\nSuch anachronistic knowledge
\nOut of perhaps the ark
\nAnd a given degree of madness
\nAnd the need to make our mark<\/p>\n
The risks were unbelievable
\nThey were beyond the evil hour
\nImmutable and unchanging
\nSpirit alone would cower
\nIn the dreaded darkness
\nAt the thought of being where
\nThis complete saturation
\nCould only bring despair<\/p>\n
And there is no turning back
\nOf clocks
\nThe pendulum now swings
\nQuietly cutting through all time
\nSimilarly it brings
\nA cataclysmic outcome
\nWorld-shaking maybe so
\nUtter obliteration
\nIf things change and we don\u2019t know<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
