Nuclear Power

by

Jansen Estrup

Don't need no new nukes

to give wannabe Dukes

all that power and pelf,

'cause we could gift ourself

instead.

Before we were loose

in the primal ooze

we worshipped the prize

and she nurtured our eyes

to see

Risen in an eastern spark,

dying in the western dark

We named on ancient stellae

the solar goddess Americi,

the Light.

For three billion years

T'was good enough, dears,

'til black arts Rockyfelllas

tarred lungs and flotillas

in darkness

So apologies to Paine,

only freedom to gain,

I so proudly admit

I'm an all-in sunshine patriot,

                           … arise!

With my very own

unregulated, pollutant free

nuclear power plant, which

I'm so willing to share,

so … here!
