Green Thumb
A flower grown in radioactive soil
Insects multiply, birds linger
Love grows the garden in nuclear winter
Hollow black roots, driving deeper still
The living share what remains
The Earth chelating her own poisoned veins
We’ll wake again for even a hint of the sunrise
Endure every blight, bruise and splinter
To plant a garden in nuclear winter.
Insects multiply, birds linger
Love grows the garden in nuclear winter
Hollow black roots, driving deeper still
The living share what remains
The Earth chelating her own poisoned veins
We’ll wake again for even a hint of the sunrise
Endure every blight, bruise and splinter
To plant a garden in nuclear winter.

Hope springs eternal
Life will find a way
What does not kill you, makes you stronger
And the strong adapt and survive and continue on

I guess we are all nuclear radiation. Time heals all wounds. Keep on preaching.

Very nicely penned with great rhyme. It's interesting to note that wildlife and the surrounding areas in Chernobyl have sprung to life, but yet the animals and plants are radioactive. Beautiful but deadly.
