An Old Woman
smell of the dead bodies polluting air
the rivers are full of atomic waste
an old woman locks eyes with all her stares
on those palaces crumbled and debased
both her hands flared in an angry shouting
flies and mosquitoes she hits with her stick
the strange woman with a look of doubting
known as Lady Future hungry and sick
her eyes tell the story "I have been raped
I can no longer take care of mankind
great shame! now that my uterus is scraped
humanity will be crippled and blind"
in chain of human genes, bonds inverted
kids from womb with chemistry perverted
