Acid Rain

The serious Train De-railment in Ohio has led to toxic Phosgene and other toxins to be burned into the air. Phosgene known for use in World War 1 and killed at least 100,000. Now, wildlife, household pets, chicken, cattle and many fish are dying. Toxins are in the Ohio River that supplies drinking water to millions. This very serious situation is not getting the proper attention of the government or the main stream media

Update: Fema has said they will not help Ohio because houses were not destroyed!! Now, a man took a stick and stirred the stream water and every color imaginable surfaced from the toxins. On video.  A parking lot of dead birds was found 350 miles away in Lexington KY. On video. The governor claims the DOD advised the burn of toxins from the train cars. Large plume still moving at 1mph toward West VA. I may need to write a blog about this.  Very serious.

Update 2/19/23. A resident from the area reported seeing no wildlife at all. Another person reported from outside the area, seeing toxic rain on the windshield. Just like I thought. The large toxic plume is traveling slowly 1 mph.  It is reported to be heading Northeast. Please check your streams and stir water to see if colored toxins surface. Also, please look at wildlife. Both these things will indicate toxins in the area.

Update: 7/2/24: Since this poem, toxins reached my yard ...with the snow over 500 miles from where they deliberately burned the chemicals. It sickened my dog and I, completely changing my life. The soil at my home was tested and proven to have the toxins from the train derailment.  Also , orange slime landed on my tree in the rain and tested positive for Benzene. I documented everything. I wrote many poems and blog posts too. My dog died just recently after suffering and fighting to live. I have now lost my home too. The Govt did a huge cover up after they had approved the burn of the chemical filled train cars. But recently Wisconsin researchers including weather experts came out with evidence the toxins reached 16 US states in the rain and snow. This has been the biggest chemical disaster in US history. A travesty for many. 


               acid rain will fall
           toxic chemicals in air
             silence now deadly

I have no words, but churning viscera and a lump in my throat that makes it hard to breathe. I would be losing it if the animals disappeared, I can only imagine what you are going through. Hugs for what it’s worth. xomo

Isaac Asimov has written a 'foreward' for your poem. (Believe he wrote a short story about 'Acid Rain.' Or maybe it was Ray Bradbury). ~ Senior Moments

Yes, it is a horrible disaster and only getting worse. They burned 100,000 gallons of toxins in the release from multiple train cars! Thank you for input Joseph :)

Sad to learn about this situation even though I had seen the accident on TV, I did not know the consequences that it could bring. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Hi Jo. Yes, this is very serious. I agree, it must be talked about more! Thank you for your attention to this matter. You are welcome :)

Have been reading about it. It is quite concerning situation. Unfortunately, freight rail is vital to commerce-- for they carry bulk goods for businesses in the US. Hoping with you that authorities are keeping alert.

My curiosity and mistrust wonders what something like that could do to the population when it seems all the states surrounding natural resources, my state being MI, may be making attempts to relocate us by silent force... via such things as "accidents." It brings a mix of sadness and anger to even have these thoughts circling in my head... tho possible, about the lives put at risk over and over again in history over money and reform...
