CHERNOBYL

ON TV hey say mothers are heroes and schizophrenics high
If birthing and bringing the child is so difficult 
Remember the story of mine 

You are standing legs in radioactive water
You know you life  will soon end 
But you are doing the job because you should because you can
Because you must
Because you have to

and tears drop from eyes of mine as I am telling story this
