Mayday in Kiev
"The unleashed power of the atom changed everything Save our mode of thinking, and we thus drift toward Unparalleled catastrophes." - Albert Einstein
In a nation for a dangerous penchant for secrecy A dread disaster at Chernobyl was concealed
As a poisoning cloud spread over the Eastern Bloc Alarming information was reluctantly revealed An explosion in Reactor Four - a fire refusing to cease No containment walls preventing radioactive release Evidence that peaceful technology had gone awry More catastrophically than Windscale or TMI
Alert - Celebration in Kiev Under glowing skies - Soviet lies Alert - In nearby Poland A shower of radiation Children iodized Mayday - A day of rejoice A cry of distress
Severe political fallout - toxic exchange of words Soviet obscurantism under verbal attack Abroad, outraged countries appeal for information Met with grudging riposte, hesitant placation At home, TASS reports no danger - nothing to fear As deadly elemental isotopes spew into the biosphere
"The unleashed power of the atom ..." - A warning from the past The benefits of technology are reversed by careless human error
