"We Reap What We Sow" - Japans Tsunami & Fukushima Nuclear Disaster 2011

The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan in the wake of the recent earthquakes and tsunami shows what folly man has to think that he can contain forever and in all eventualities the power of nuclear energy.

No one thought of the force of a tsunami wave breaking the cooling system on the nuclear power plant, the subsequent meltdown and the global nuclear crises since.

A world in horror
Looked as millions just perished
Neath a mushroom cloud

Civilians must die
Decree generals high to save
Their soldiers lives

That was then: Japan
Rose from the ashes again
Leader of the world.

Far away Ukraine
Fifty years later they saw
Nuclear catastrophe

But not act of war
So feared at the time, rather
The folly of man

Who thought he'd contain
The force of nature too strong
When atoms are split.

Twenty five years passed
Japan the theater again
For mans arrogance

Tsunami came strong
Broke up the cooling system
Disaster strikes.

Man gauged for all things
Bar power of big waves
And pipes frailty.

And through arrogance
And folly that man is strong
He will soon perish

You do not play God
With what you cannot control
Don't play with fire child.

For all of your brains
You are but a child, a fool
When compared to God.

Don't be hating on Ukrainians. It was the Imperialists Russians who put up that plant on their soil which is why a lot of Ukrainian hate Russians.

@SPS148669 Its not meant as a hate comment against Ukrainians. The "folly of man" comment is not aimed at Ukraine as a nation, or even at the Russians, but at all mankind who were foolish to mess with splitting the atom.

lurn how tu spill...it's fuckin SEW...takes all the legitimacy out of the video when simple spelling errors are made and not corrected...

[tomasocarthaigh]

@smokestakz I bed to differ, sew is to repair or make a garment, sow is to plant, the past tense of the former being sewn, and the latter being sown.

Thanks for pointing it out anyway, I am quite liable to make mistakes of that magnitude, though innocent on this occasion!!! :-)

Title comes from "THE EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS" - We Reap What We Sow (6:7-9)

@tomasocarthaigh - I should have written "beg to differ", not "bed to differ"!!!!
