RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Return of the Heat Wave
A year ago in August
A record wave of heat beat down on us
Like a raving army of mad savages
Bent on complete submission
The wave returns in June
Thundering fire smoke and brimstone
The guardians of hell surround us
Wrap their burning arms around us
And hold us in captivity
We are not beaten
But we are weakened
The push the pull the constant call
Of all we have endured
Waves of madness and oppression
Waves of sickness and disease
Waves of bigotry and murder
Waves of tragedy and heartbreak
Now another punishing blow
A record wave of heat in June
We dare not look ahead
At what the future holds
We live the moment and press on
We live each day to reach the night
And breathe again
