Wasteland

Wasteland

There's a quiet tide over Gainsville
A red night sun over the window sill 
Just before the missile hits from the town rear
We realize that it's nuclear
 
First the puff,  then smoke
Fragments that infiltrate and poke 
Everyone that's still hiding, ain't 
Noses bleed whilst children faint 
 
There's an eerie silence 
A teen screams for decadence
PunK Goth slur Adare 
AnYthing better than nUclear
 
The wasteland is zoned off now 
Army came round and fenced off, that's how 
That's how the fucking desert got it's name 
Gainesville nuked into the history book of fame 
 
The goths now run the show
Their leader Adare know 
The day a nuke by hand 
Was delivered to this Wasteland

It would be better to not write about such 

things; I am glad you see the relevance,

it's my first anti war nuclear poem 

and hopefully my last! Thank you Chris

for visiting this Wasteland, 

best wishes 

Jai :)

when i was younger (early teens ) i used to wear a CND  badge .not really knowing what it was all about ,my friends older brother gave it to me saying "keep it someday you will know what it means!"  until later years i realized the devastation such nuclear weapons caused .death and pain . a reminder still needs to be given to the world unless its laid to rest .  great piece jai  !!!      tina x

That's the scary truth isn't it; to be told to 

live in fear because the monster is coming, 

Symbols help understand the world we 

live in, CND meaning campaign for nuclear 

disarmament, the peace sign is what you 

refer to; what will get us out of this mess?

thanks Tina for visiting this wasteland;

kind rgs from Jai :)

thanks Susan, the remedy for fear is 

in your poems, make people happy 

again. We create our own misery 

but let's get out of this wasteland

 way before its too late.
