Traveler's Time Bomb

A selfish expeditionist risks everyone,
to make his lunar sweetness, with the knots tied tight.
With this groundless travel, many more may be afflicted.

A Time Bomb awaits
concealed deeply within.
Small particles released bit by bit.
The air is perfused with it's noxious wastes.
It permeates all.

The old man, 
Controlling the Development of the Contagion,
knew the plan and did not budge.
Who is more to blame
for the innocents who may suffer.
