Immune system

A poem in praise of Greenpeace and i.m. of Fernando Pereira - murdered in 1985

Sail the seven plutonium seas
and see for yourself
how the waves
of alarm
are now hooked
for generations
to the toxic tribes
of the steam driven turbines
and the spent fuel rods
of MOX radiation
and the permanent cargoes
of leaky yellow drums
now poisoning the planet
and the fish
you used to eat
but dare not
complain
or even monitor the dose
for they'll send a secret agent
with a limpet mine
and he'll stick it
tight under
your
boat

  1. Very threatening Gwilym. I see they are now beginning to admit to greater levels of radiation in Japan.
