A Violent Newcomer
It streaked like lightening across the sky, thundered loud as it went by
Brought true fear and alarm, that could only mean great harm
From the cold Siberian sky.
That meteor from outer space, brought sheer terror to the place;
Windows shattered in its wake, before it crashed down in a lake,
And left all to reason why?
Chelabinsk is the place's name, it never before had a call for fame.
It's not really too large in size, but now it's in the world's eyes
Because of one great rock.
No one's sure from whence it came, outer space must take the blame
Where debris circles from times gone by, well above the visible sky;
It came as quite a shock!
The experts on TV appear, to confuse us more and add to fear
By telling tales of what might be, amimated to earn their fee;
They talk a lot of rot.
The media must get to the place, from all directions they start to race
To interview the local clan, exaggerating when they can.
A story must be got!
If the world's press would stop and think, only send one crew to provide the link.
Cut your costs and give us peace, we want an accurate news release.
Not one you fabricate.
The victims will their story tell, just give them time 'till all is well.
But newsmen never take that view, they interfere and cause a stew.
They are all indelicate!
Twenty thousand were sent to assist, to make sure that no one was missed:
A timely move right at the start, all reaching out to do their part
To console the population.
When disaster strikes and brings its pain, people unite to ease the strain.
There behind each human mind, an inbuilt instinct to be kind.
Now that's a revelation!
Now Nation's may start to realise, that what took place before their eyes
Revealed a force they cannot contain, one that is too hard to explain.
Perhaps it was a threat?
Stop the fight for nuclear devices, work for peace in all its guises,
Reap the reward of working together, before someone out there loses His tether.
There is hope for all of us yet!
