Who Will Step Forward?
by David Krieger*, April 2001

Who speaks for the innocent victims of the Nuclear Age?

Who speaks for the uranium miners who suffered and died to bring out the ore?

Who speaks for the children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Who speaks for all radiation victims of all nuclear tests?

Who speaks for the Pacific Islanders who lost their homes, their health and their lives?

Who speaks for the unknowing victims of Nazi-like nuclear experiments?

Who speaks for the soldiers deliberately exposed to nuclear tests?

Who speaks for the radiation-contaminated earth, air and water?

Who speaks for the unborn future generations who will suffer from nuclear wastes?

Who speaks for all humanity that stands at risk of nuclear annihilation?

Who speaks for ending this peril?

Who will step forward?
