A Litter'Ation

It’s newly clear 
that nuclear power 
carries more threat 
than possibilities. 
It’s the cloud 
that cloaks the darkest hour -- 
a storm stored in faulty facilities. 
Let’s let alone 
the lunatic notions
like a limited annihilation; 
look what we’ve done to our earth and oceans: 
Dumped canisters leak abomination -- 
permanent pollution – 
danger that stays -- 
half-lives upwards of twenty thousand years -- 
a gift of garbage, spewing gamma rays -- 
a poor present that never disappears -- 
perpetrated upon our progeny 
and our planet’s total biogeny.
