Global Warning

subregi

Floods everywhere

Shelter nowhere

Planes rerouted

Trees uprooted

 

Water everywhere

Not a drop to drink

Not once somewhere

To pause and think

 

Bear the brunt

Of fury of nature

Rain forests burnt

In state of stupor

 

Deny the cause

Await the pause

Clean energy to invest

Good policies to digest

 

All the warnings to ignore

Denying the science in uproar

Act now when it's possible

Or repent later when impossible

    Seems so easy to think about and tell ourselves its right to make serious changes for our planet, our home. Easy until we step outside into our polluting motor cars and visit the supermarket to buy non biodegradeable plastic packaged goods.
    I am as guilty as anyone so cannot point a finger but i try in my guilty small ways to make a difference to the HUGE issue you describe today.
    We need plenty of reminders such as your good words today.

      Thank you

      Couldn't agree more, subregi. Makes me sick at the complacency apparent among those in power. and the rest of us who keep them there.

        Many countries still invest in fossil fuel when cleaner cheaper options exist!

          Yes - the one I live in especially. A very neat summary of the whole damn thing, BTW.
