After Fukushima: 0de to Sir David King














The sky is dark, I can’t breathe
Dead birds are falling from the trees
I know I am being naïve
About the polluted seas

I shouldn’t worry about
Persistent nuclear fallout
My fears are merely sophistry
I’ve learnt nothing from history

I’m an ignorant untutored one
Just a deluded simpleton
You’re the expert, David King
Nuclear power is your thing

You think this energy is “clean”
You like caesium and iodine
In the environment, one hopes –
Radioactive isotopes

You don’t fear mutagenicity
From this “cheap” electricity
The waste issue’s resolved
No terrorists. All problems solved

You’re the expert, David King
Nuclear power is your thing
It’s safer than poking a hornet’s nest
Nuclear power is the best
