RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Winter Wildfire
If you’ve ever been to Boulder
You know
If you’ve ever known its wonder
You understand
Boulder is a home to art and artists
It is a place of poetry dance and music
It is a place that embraces philosophy
A place that encourages freedom of thought
If you’ve ever been to Boulder
You know it is an enchanted place
Where dreams take hold and flourish
Boulder is in trouble
As a winter wildfire strikes down
Her winter walls
Breaks down her gates
To threaten all who dwell within
Dozens of brave firefighters
Weary from their own battles
Stand ready to come to her defense
From all corners of the nation
Prayers and warm wishes
Rush to offer comfort and aide
Let us once again affirm that
We are all one
United in common purpose
Determined to protect our own
Whatever the cost
Through all storms and disasters
Through all misfortune and tragedy
We stand our ground in Boulder
And proclaim to a weary world:
We shall not be broken
We are Americans
And we will prevail
[A wildfire wipes out hundreds
of homes in Boulder, Colorado]
