Nuclear matricide

The geese have changed their flight path to the lake
For further to the East  a river runs
Once used for milling flour for bread and cake
For making bulbs  for lights and wartime guns

The lightbulbs were  a fiction in the  War
Radar was the  secret  they researched
An old man in my Art Class once worked there
A physicist who worshipped still in Church

God and radar,guns and shells and tanks
Angels,demons,Jesus Christ we’re damned
Money lenders,presidents and Banks
Evil now seems normal in our land

We  rid the world of Hitler  but we died
What soul survives nuclear matricide?
