RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Fire & Floods
Rain floods the east coast
From Philly to Manhattan
Get out of the way if you’re able
Find shelter if you can
Fires rage in California
Pristine Lake Tahoe in the path
Testing our perseverance
Challenging nature’s wrath
Punishing heat pounds New Orleans
In the wake of a hurricane
The people survive without power
Though their will to live wanes
The days of reckoning are upon us
It arrives in seven waves
Fire wind rain and pestilence
All combine to induce rage
We can walk in place no longer
It is time to raise the roof
No longer can we be passive
We can no longer be aloof
If this is the final hour
If these are the final days
Let it be said I was impassioned
Let it be said my part I played
