The Deluge

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING


The Deluge

 

Fires across the North American west

Floods across Northern Europe

Heat waves and horrific drought

Leaving us no room for doubt

 

The earth is undergoing transformation

From a life sustaining ecosystem

To a purge of poison and toxicity

Where the poison and toxicity is us

 

The planet is destroying that

Which would destroy the earth

 

Floods fires pestilence and heat

We have proven our own worst enemy

Even the forests no longer sustain us

The Amazon the tundra the glaciers

The oceans the rivers the open plains

All are reaching their limits

All are striking back

 

The planet is revolting against

The multi-millennial reign of humans

The earth is serving final notice

Repair the damage or face

Most dire consequences

Eviction destruction elimination

We no longer have a choice

Change or die

For the greater good
