Nuclear Event (revised)

A poem about Man's possible self Extinction.

Feasting on the bodies from the Nuclear blasts .Those

dreadful rats had quite a repast

Both rich and poor,they feverishly ate ,squealing and

shrieking as their hunger whet.

The so called “masters of the World”were no more that

day as the nuclear bombs exploded around the world in dismay

A quiet calm filled the planet that hour as the deadly

Smoke rose to the sky in disarray

The aftermath of that devastation was a sad thing to

See ,as the ruins of great cities tumbled into the

great sea.

Now it's only a dry ,red planet dead and desolate,

quietly spinning it's forlorn way to dreadful decay

A once vibrant planet teeming with life in full bloom

with it's advanced technology in all the sciences, now

Dead and in gloom.

A few stragglers managed to escape from the

catastrophe in great ships to the planet Earth,

Saw that the daughters of man

were comely and beautiful,cohabit with them which gave

Birth

We on Earth should take heed of that dreadful event,

as MARS to it’s massive destruction went  Or

we, with our nuclear weapons and pig headedness indeed

Shall share a similar Fate!

Reviewed on March 12, 2008
Some very eye-opening thoughts you pen, Michael. Yet, I don't think so much about the N-bomb as I do the N-waste that is already here on our Blue Planet...and the cutting down of our forestry to plant more concrete, and the extinction of our beautiful creatures, and the over-population and dwindling food-supply, and the polution of our air and waters.
Keep writing; we should all be reading...
