GDR poems, letters and song lyrics
that pertain to nuclear radiation and or nuclear bombs.
Face
the fire With beauty abounding
There are brilliant people
Face the fire
I hear the thunder
From 3 miles away
Islands leaking into the bay
The poison is spreading
The Demon is free
And people are running from what they can't even see
Face the fire
You can't turn away
The risk grows greater
With each passing day
The waitings over
The moment has come
Kill the fire
And turn to the sun
They'll take your money
and then take your health
and line their pockets with unequaled wealth
these men are under the power of gold
we won't safe until we've shut them down cold
The people came to the capitol town
100 thousand of them laid their hearts down
They screamed in anger
And broadcast their fears
Just to have them fall on deaf ears
Face the Fire
You can't turn away
The risk grows greater
With each passing day
The waitings over
The moment has come
Kill the fire
And turn to the sun
Kill the fire
And turn to the sun

With beauty abounding in the world, we have our moments of joy. Our existence can be counted by what we contribute to our days of borrowed time. With each passing moment we take of natures gifts, we need to replace its essence to assure a continuous grant of blessings.
Too often, we expect others to clean up our mess and leave our troubles behind, but it is we who must lend a hand. Each of us has something to contribute, whether it be time given, or funds for the necessary water for a seed of hope to grow .
While the thoughts of this letter begin to open your mind and soul, let the following facts cry out for your heart to take action. Our energy needs have caused the problems of not having safe places to store nuclear waste, which can remain deadly for 20,000 years, and the thousands of adults and children, dying each year of cancer from contaminates of nuclear waste, bomb sites, uranium mines, even the cooling water and steam from nuclear reactors needs to stop. The continuing nuclear waste which is leaking into our water, food, agriculture and air, needs your immediate attention.
Consider also, that scientists, scholars and even the Bible, have predicted catastrophic weather changes and mass earthquakes beginning within our near future. We must act now to prevent waste sites from leaking into our waters, food supplies and prepare safeguards in the event of meltdowns.
Your time and contributions are needed to help the environment in new ways, computer systems to handle educational process , web site provision for research and distribution of GDR, etc.
We challenge your alliance with this cause
to continue what may become a piece of history. And to take action now
before more lives are lost and the future catches up with the past.

There are brilliant people
out there
We can't leave it to others who have failed in telling the full extent
of the radiation dilemma. It is a fact known to most of us that there are
brilliant people out there, scientists, physicists, inventors, and researchers
who have discovered ways and means to circumvent most of our wasteful ways;
but their light is being extinguished by the few greedy ones at the top
of corporations and nations, for their own concerns.
So we are led to go blindly along for our own selfish comfort and to
our downfall. For now the Deactivation of Radiation is the most current
concern. For the future of all mankind we must change our ways.
