tunguska

 The Tunguska event was a large explosion of between 3 and 50 megatons[2] that occurred  on the morning of 30 June 1908.[1][3] The explosion flattened an estimated 80 million trees over an area of (830 sq mi) The explosion is generally attributed to a meteor air burst, the atmospheric explosion of a stony asteroid about 50–60 metres (160–200 feet) wide.


Never be beneath

An exploding asteroid,

If you can help it.

It would atomise

All your atoms and

Few people have been unluckier

Than anyone who was under

Tunguska.

Unless they are

A possible candidate for messiah

Living within reach

Of some psychotic tyrant

Who only believes

In blood iron and fire.
