Hark the herald angels sing
yea, only one hundred ten days,
I started counting until spring
as proclaimed courtesy
yours truly, a fellow Earthling.
Mine tolerance to endure
brutally cold weather quite plain
decreases in direct proportion
as orbitz around El Sol increase,
hence subsequent heft to weather
old man winter doth wane,
no matter majority mein kampf birthdays
lived hashtagged Southeastern
Montgomery, Pennsylvanian.
Climate change slated
to ratchet up temperatures,
thus quaint Currier
and Ives existence dated,
whereby relics portraying
old man winter curated
within (ironically enough)
climate controlled and heavily gated
surveilled environment freighted
replete with trappings created,
back in the day when bomb cyclones
nsync with polar vortex precipitated,
where global warming naysayers skated
on thin ice ignoring strong voice dictated
by diminutive Swedish
activist Greta Thunberg severely castigated
passive grownups, said
slip o' lass generated
cult like following despite
her petite, yet enervated
larger than life presence, especially venerated
by young people cohort, who felt infuriated
unheeded apocalyptic warnings
inadvertently kickstarted,
motivated, and promulgated
green revolution proudly designated
government, née said youth
zealously, vociferously, righteously,
opportunistically arrogated
take charge attitude
(think) wartime economy escalated
forcing drastic paradigm shift
diminishing nightmare demise calculated
to reign death and destruction,
nonetheless untolled cruelty
permanently and wantonly eradicated
multitudinous swaths of life forms.

HI FRIEND ~ BRIAN here ~ Thanks for posting an ENVIRONMENTAL Poem & mentioning GRETA ! I am an ENVIRONMENTALIST and we posted os Poem on GRETA (12 December) when She was named TIME PERSON OF 2019 ~ the youngest person to be so honoured ! I have visited Pennsylvania in the Summer but I guess she gets her fair share of Snow in the Winter ! Despite what President Trump may preach Global Warming is inceasing due to increase in Atmospheric CO2 due to Human Activity ~ from 250 ppm at the start of the Industrial Revolution to 415 ppm today. Due to this The tempertures in Australia is 50C (120+ F) hotter than Death Valley and the whole Country is on Fire ! Sea levels are rising Worldwide and Tornadoes & Hurricanes are more intensive and the melting of the ICE CAPS is irreverible in our lifetimes ! Greta & the striking School Kids could well be alive in 2100 ~ The population will be 15 billion ~ millions will be dying of heat & starvation ~ coastal areas will be inundated and the Climate will be much worse than today ~ tell TRUMP ~ It aint no Chinese Myth ! You touch on these catastrophies in the second half of your epic ! At 60 you dont have to worry much beyond 2050 (when conditions will be worse !) Im 36 so I expect to still be around in 2070 and anyone under 10 could well live into the 22nd century ~ this is why the KIDS (like Greta Thunberg) are REVOLTING ~ Thanks for scaring !
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💚🧡💚
We are engaged Angela is 31.
