Chernobyl’s children
Still suffer the sentence of
Their parents malefaction,
The ruins remain ruins
Decay covers more decay
Destruction and despair draped
in pure white blanket
The crystal cloak of winters’
season salves not purifies.
As Earth still revolves
And snows of winter still fall
Burnt out remains lie buried
Will never be forgotten.

This was a response to d’Verse Meeting the Bar; the Choka
I have never attempted this form/format before and found it quite a challenge. Anyway this was my first ever attempt at a Choka..I tried to understand the form.
