A Poem: Cosmos 954

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Cosmos 954*

By Augustie Togonu-Bickersteth

Its cosmos 954

Nuclear powered

And falling

Right onto my head

Would you want me 

standing at your door

Or sitting by your side

With some grub

From your refrigerator?

You are Scholar for

International peace?

you would like to stay

With your B pluses?

But clinging to your 

B pluses

Might be taking peace to

Pieces

 But Sharing a thought

Or two

May be  building peace by bits

Its cosmos 954

nuclear powered

And 

Its falling right

Onto my Head!

Would you want me

Standing at your Door

Or sitting by your side

With some grub

From your refrigerator?

 *Cosmos 954 was a soviet nuclear powered

Owned satellite which fell back to earth around

The Canadian border
