the united states is destroying its once vast chemical arsenal. at last. (Dedicated to John Ismay.)

 


Once where fear dwelt, and shadows cast,
A lethal legacy, now outlast.
No more the specter of the unseen,
Chemical foes, erased and clean.

Awake, rejoice, for there's a victory won,
A brighter chapter has begun.
The United States, with steady gaze,
Cleared the path through a toxic haze.

The threat dissolved, the deed is done,
Underneath the watchful sun.
No longer hidden in our midst,
The phantom menace will be missed.

From dark to light, the world does shift,
With this burden set adrift.
Lessons learned, history's page turned,
In peace and safety, we've discerned.

A sigh of relief, the globe does breathe,
An age of fear, we finally leave.
Today we stand on common ground,
Where love, not war, is the only sound.

Rejoice, rejoice, with voices strong,
Echoing the triumphant song.
In unity, we share this news,
Of a future we choose, free of chemical blues.
