Yellowcake - Uranium Concentrate -

The doomsday rush is on; there's a special going now, as we linger dangerously toward the Bible’s vow, for in the prophecies of Israel thousands of years ago, the prophets who address us now have the evidence to show, our end may be coming closer; we may join the Dinosaur. This world can live without us because it did once before. Could it be war that will destroy us with weapons of destruction? Will hordes sweep across the Continents in a murderess influx eon? But there's been wars since man was born; nothing stops war raging on. Still the populace explodes so war the culprit must be wrong. Maybe a virus! Something new not understood to quickly lay the healthy down, and sweep into the cultured world where no cure can be found. Maybe it's AIDS; but like other viles, with no cure years ago, were overcome by sheer numbers and populations stood to grow. Have we reached the stage where we're a plague the world cannot sustain. Destroying ecology, biology, hybridizing, so seed cannot produce the same. We can't drink our water; our air is poisoned through sheer greed. Even this is not enough to kill us off, but we're starting to bleed. The answer may be simple. Our watch; microwave, smoke detector or T.V. Right to our re-assuring leaders who claim all’s well so arrogantly. Mass killing may be accidental; we won't see what put our lives at stake! We meekly walk behind to share the profit with our slice of yellowcake.

Hi Lindsay not so clever that I understand the heading, so looked it up, so here is my answer - we are certainly 'starting to bleed' what will finally exterminate this planet - a slice of yellowcake - yellow cake "is used in the manufacture of nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors" obtained info from google - God help us, but greed has brought us to this stage in our lives. An excellent poem Lindsay. Hugs and Blessings Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer ... humanity must be extra careful with this fuel because mistakes cannot be fixed. Yes Jennifer, greed causing pollution is creating one evil to fix other evils. Thanks for your comment Jennifer - Lindsay

WELL thought and scribed, Lindsay! I would send a copy to Trump, but I doubt that he would understand it (anything that doesn't have "I" in it is beyond his ken)! Aloha! Rico

Hello Rico ... do US elections ever stop. If you lose you lose so let the people get on with their lives and if they are fair-dinkum, these politicians should not forget who they are working for - there's my rant for the day Rico - Lindsay

Very insightful verse, Lindsay! Seems like we have really screwed up His Creation and rushing toward our doom. But cheer up - all hope is lost - ha!

Hello Bob ... we all know what happened at Chernobyl using uranium and the effects will last for centuries. Humanity must be very careful so these disasters don't happen again - thanks Bob - Lindsay
