The leaders and people, of most country show some apprehension and fear
  If there is any ship passing through their waters with anything that is nuclear
  There will be negotiations, lobbying or getting help, and taking precaution
  Thinking about the potential damage, and some are at loss for a solution.

  This great fear of, and  the proir knowledge about the effects of radiation
  Has palnted in lots of people minds, such a trepidation
  That no one ever thought that if properly harnessed
  The benefits derived one could feel quite blessed.

  We cannot wait until fossil fuel is gone completely
  To start thinking about an alternative source of energy
  But who can be sure that some of the oil’s carbon
  Does not contain some radioactive isotopes of its atoms.

  Instead of fear, let there be a form of education 
  So that people can be aware of, and take the necessary precaution
  Thus they will understand the nature and danger of nuclear power
  Just as they come to accept and understand their kilowatt hour.

  Nuclear reactivity and isotopes are used in medicine
  We all know of the parts they play in the treating
  Of those afflicted with many types of cancers
  Prolonging lives and improving the quality of life, for those suffers.

  Those countries which are now using lots of nuclear power
  The stations are in isolated areas and near the bank of a river
  Reactors are cooled, by engulfing large volumes of water
  Stringent quality control and regular checks are mandated to avert any disaster.

  Daily we are surrounded by all types of radiation
  And in some cases, this can be of a bit high proportion
  Therefore for curiosity, get hold of a Geiger counter
  You may be alarmed by what is seen by that measure.
