RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Fire, Wind & Rain
Horrendous fire, wind and rain
The prophecies unfold
A land of darkness filled with pain
The feeble and the old
Run for cover and take heed
There are more omens
Than we can read
The beggar and the blind man
Foresee a time of wanton need
Fire followed by torrential rain
A stripping of the land
This page of history is stained
When we failed to take a stand
When all was well and
There was time
To save the lot of man
We will rise again to claim a place
Upon the living earth
The survivors will give warning
Of the burdens we once faced
And our failure to live up to it
For whatever it is worth
