The Ghost of Fukushima

The ghost of Fukushima
Rises from the dust
So soon they have forgotten
The forces they can trust
The disaster reached around the world
Disturbing the ocean’s balance
A poisonous disease
Turning energy to rust

The ghost of Fukushima
Should haunt them in their sleep
A disaster of such magnitude
Should make their mothers weep
The harm was bad enough
It could have been much worse
The ghost of Fukushima
Should be a lasting curse

The ghost of Fukushima
Will not be laid to rest
A nation on an island
Should not be so obsessed
When the children are considered
They will understand what’s best
The people will be better off
When nuclear is less
