Government Guidelines: Evacuation

by Nick Gisburne



Immediate evacuation, now,
For citizens below the safety line,
Will spare you from extinction and allow
A mandatory cleansing, by design.
Consult your zone’s evacuation maps
To navigate away from any breach.
‘Disaster’, ‘meltdown’, ‘spillage’, and ‘collapse’
Are banned for seven days from public speech.
For those who spread the flawed, seditious lie
That ruptures in defective toxin tanks
Will leave the locals bleeding, doomed to die,
Your names have all been noted, with our thanks.
    Proceed towards the nearest exit gate,
    Or choose the option ‘Notified Too Late’.
