Dusty Soul 2,611 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 (edited) Chernobyl As the fumes filled theair No one seemed to care They all didn't know what was going on As they piled them in buses to leave their lawns No one understood Though the misconception still stands That they actually cared about the people dying When reactor 4 was melting When radiation pierced the skies Did those people need to die And as those fumes filled the air No one seemed to care They took them away, butwere too late The radiation had spread to decide their fate Swollen bodies, and cancers becoming All to real The fumes filled the air no one seemed to care Who can we blame Was it the people Was it the government was it the people in the highest sectors wishing away the people beneath them hooping one day they'd be dead and gone Hoping to rid the life that was Maybe they didn't mean it Yeah I can see it We blame the governmentfor everything what about this The fumes continued to fly in the sky The rescue workers all got caught in the invisible cloud that they had fought Cancerous radiation poisoning at it's finest losing the battle finally ready to lie down and die And as the fumes filled the air no one seemed to care I wrote this for my geography class. I think it's pretty good. Edited February 1, 2013 by Dusty Soul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oran Schvoletski 49 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 That was actually really interesting. Nice poem in my opinion, but then again I don't write many poems so not much to compare it to. Still, better than the stuff I have written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Durango 119 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Well, yes, no one actually meant for it to happen. I don't know about government conspiracy theories around it. Decent poem, I say. Though there are a few spelling mistakes, so you might wanna go back and fix those. Unless they were intentional. Or unintentionally intentional. /Mindfck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Revelations 8,835 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Pretty good poem over all. If I could point out one thing, the formatting you picked was fairly odd and hard to follow, especially the spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at least in theory) The radiation had already fallen, I will go back and fix the spelling mistakes, thanks. Pretty good poem over all. If I could point out one thing, the formatting you picked was fairly odd and hard to follow, especially the spacing. Yeah, I know. I had the thing all spaced out very nicely and the thing went to hell when I put submit new topic... I'm in the process of fixing it though.

Fridge 382 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I really like this poem, I will freely admit that when it comes to prose I'm no expert but something about this struck a chord won't me. I do like that you've included a bit about the supposed cover up not many people know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonata18 105 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 great job! I love reading about the Chernobyl disaster. It's so fascinating. The pictures of pripyat and the abandoned amusement park there are crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since we studied it in class I've been researching it, and that's one of the things I came across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your quite welcome I got interested in it after playing Stalker, even went there on my travels (well Pripyat actually). It's quite an interesting thing to read about, especially when you take in the historical context of the time. Some of the off the wall conspiracy theories are amusing to read... I vaguely remember one about the towers you see around being used in a mind control experiment (told you it's off the wall). But it is true they never told the firefighters etc about the radiation.
