It’s in the air
As reactors emit their breath
It’s in the sea
As barrels rust in sunken ships
It’s in the earth
As leakage in depots goes on
We eat the bread of poisoned grain
Radiation
(Oppenheimer quoted Bhagavad Gita at the testing of the atomic bomb in 1945)
“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds!”
We called upon ourselves the cataclysm of our own design.
