Toxic and radioactive,
power under his sleve,
a fissionable trans Uranium,
the element Plutonium.
In the row of the Actinoides list,
the heaviest of natures element that exist.
Everything above ninety four,
is not natural any more.
Still most of the Plutonium is created willingly,
or produced in nuclear plants continously.
Initially discovered from Enrico Fermi,
a man who moved to the U.S. from Italy.
He named it Hesperium in thirty four,
but second world war closed some academic door.
It was succesfully synthesized from Neptunium,
and in the row of planets it got the name Plutonium.
When the secrets had been published in fourty eight,
for the name Hesperium it was too late.
Therefore the periodic system is witness,
that pluto is a planet, nonthelss.
No matter what new disocoveries might mean,
Pluto is like a far distant friend unseen.
Plutonium is bound to a dark history,
as the most interesting thing to set power free,
is not to produce mass amount of electricity,
it is to kill and distroy with unseen brutality.
In the last month of second world war created,
is what was to the Manhatten project related.
Weapons grade Plutonium mass production,
with the purpose of nuclear bomb construction.
Hiroshima hit by the little boy,
an Uranium package to deploy
Nagasaki hit by the fat man,
to show what Plutonium can.
Roughly a quater million people dead,
with daily business in their head.
It is an example that we need to be reflected,
that scientists need to be protected,
from over-motivated politicians and ideology,
they need to be creative and free.
Power used uncontrolled,
dismay or at best a scold,
the user is creating the desaster,
more difficult with the world becoming faster.
We need to respect nature and its power,
and consider at any hour,
that we are with no purpose meant to controll,
we just happen to be part of the overall,
we can have an easy nice life,
with regions that thrive,
be aware of consequences of our action,
be humble and self reflection,
will never bomb our enemies away,
they will show us a good way,
to reach a future together,
because every human does matter.
I wish to dedicate this poem to the victims of the nuclear weapons and tests. Developed from missleaded or forced scientits. It can never be undone, but it can be a memoral that can teach us a simple lesson. It is the peolpe that matter, not the ideology.
