Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Heat Meet

Washington D.C. is the place
Where a bunch of leaders do meet
To talk about a threat all face -
Nuclear terrorism heat.
Fissile material stock piles
Must not be allowed to go to
Al Qaeda and the like hostiles,
'Cause ka-boom is what they would do.
Yes, it's a threat the leaders know,
But no guarantees from the bunch.
Transparency is a no - show,
And then it happened during lunch.

A mushroom cloud above D.C.
Now how ironic would that be?
