RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Sequoias
The magnificent Sequoias of California
Are now an endangered species
A twenty-year drought drained the lifeblood
And the fires reduced them to kindling
Cry not for these majestic creatures
Though they have stood for a million years
Cry for those who will never behold
In all their glory and towering strength
The pounding pulse of their eternal grace
Cry for all humankind
Entrusted with their care
Cry for the forest and all the life
Dependent on the Sequoia cover
Cry for the father of all beings
Cry for the earthly mother
We are witnessing the final days
Of one of nature’s greatest miracles
And we know as a mother knows her child
It is only the beginning
