‘The Superpower of Technology’

On The Globe, there is a superpower of technology,
About half of the robots in the world working there,
Tremendous amounts of vending machines are selling everything there,
Even disregarding jobless people everywhere,
So, this state is much praised by scholars of futurology.
There, about 40% of electricity is generated by nuclear,
That is a symbol of this state, people swear,
But this state is often charged by tsunami ever,
As the word “tsunami” is known at any languages all over.
Engineers set nuclear powerplants at the coastlines,
Where the tsunami has killed many citizens as historian underlines,
Electric company says this is protected by multi-safety mechanism,
The plants museum shows the perfect defense system to the visitors coming by free-tourism,
Though the severest tsunami attacks the plants are saved,
People use 10% of world energy with unnecessary life parts even the plants sometimes waved.
One day, tsunami visited the place again,
Nuclear powerplants became outputting no gain,
Some of them exploded and caused fire,
The prime minister said there should be no way to retire.
The plants lost their dome,
People living around the plants were told to stay in their home,
When residents lost their possessions and asked for pity,
Outgoing radiation is observed even at the capital city.
Engineers says, “The radiation is weak and no harm is examined,
This happens because the tsunami is just harder than they imagined,
This is a chance to show how our high technology bravely works at the crisis,
To win over the nuclear commercial race among rival countries overseas.”
“This is better than cases at other countries where the level of technology is at doubt,
Just to put wet towel on mouth and take shower after going out,”
People finally find this is not a superpower of technology of our stat,
Here is simply a paradise of technocrat.
