RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
The War on Warming
As Alaska is battered by typhoon
And Puerto Rico is slammed by hurricane
The harshest storms in history
Blasting wind and pounding rain
The war on warming goes in retreat
Like an old war fought in vain
Floods droughts and heat waves
The Russian war against Ukraine
The certainty of a hard winter
Who is first to break the chain?
As Russia cuts off Europe
From the Netherlands to Spain
The change cannot come fast enough
To alleviate the pain
Erdogan joins the Chinese
In a walk down authoritarian lane
Even Germany must be tempted
A betrayal that would stain
All this because one brutal man
Keeps driving the Cold War train
He cannot accept his dismal error
The invasion of Ukraine
