RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Drought in China
Droughts in China and Arizona
Floods in Texas and India
There is such irony when
Global warming strikes back
At its biggest offenders
But let us not forget
A change in climate affects
The innocent as the guilty
The powerless people of Pakistan
Do not deserve this climate hell
The voiceless of India and China
Are not responsible for the negligence
And indifference of their governments
A tornado does not distinguish
Between polluter and non-polluter
The exploding storms do not choose
To ravage only regressive states
In the short run some nations
May face more of the consequences
Of our paralysis and inaction
But in the long run we will all pay
We will all face the horrors
The devastation and destruction
Together
