RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Dead Fish on Lake Merritt
The stench of death on Lake Merritt
Rises from the receding shore
The experts say we can only bear it
Prepare yourselves for more
The temperature is rising higher
Month by month, week by week
Warming brings the risk of fire
Sweet relief is what we seek
But relief is just not coming soon
The fish continue dying
Send your children to the moon
The temperature will be frying
They warn us that the grid will fail
Leaving us at nature’s beckoning
We’d love to take a ship and sail
To escape the earth’s great reckoning
