How Much

#Fukushima Was the Beginning Of the End,

the Radiation Seeping Into Our Oceans;

Causing Mutations & InSanity;

From Fish to Man.

Driving Them to Feast On the UnInfected;

a World Damned.

I Still Dream Of the Food Riots,

When we Could No Longer Eat From the Sea.

the Crashing & Burning of Cities;

Parents Eating Kids.

Cops Going Door to Door

Rounding People Up For the Cattle Camps,

the Old & Sick Shot

& Cooked In the Street.

How I Survived Still Mystifies,

aLone & Not One Friend;

All Ways Running,

Running For the Hills.

So Many Things Have I Done

& the Things I Know I Will Do

Just To Survive Another Setting Sun.

How Many Lives Must I Take

to Pay For Mine.
