    The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan in the wake of the recent earthquakes and tsunami shows what folly man has to think that he can contain forever and in all eventualities the power of nuclear energy.



    No one thought of the force of a tsunami wave breaking the cooling system on the nuclear power plant, the subsequent meltdown and the global nuclear crises since.
    A world in horror
    Looked as millions just perished
    Neath a mushroom cloud

    Civilians must die
    Decree generals high to save
    Their soldiers lives

    That was then: Japan
    Rose from the ashes again
    Leader of the world.

    Far away Ukraine
    Fifty years later they saw
    Nuclear catastrophe

    But not act of war
    So feared at the time, rather
    The folly of man

    Who thought he'd contain
    The force of nature too strong
    When atoms are split.

    Twenty five years passed
    Japan the theater again
    For mans arrogance

    Tsunami came strong
    Broke up the cooling system
    Disaster strikes.

    Man gauged for all things
    Bar power of big waves
    And pipes frailty.

    And through arrogance
    And folly that man is strong
    He will soon perish

    You do not play God
    With what you cannot control
    Don't play with fire child.

    For all of your brains
    You are but a child, a fool
    When compared to God.
