RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
The Flood
Nigeria faces an epic flood
Ethiopia confronts biblical starvation
While the world discusses climate change
Much of Africa pleads for salvation
The flood in Nigeria reminds us
That those who pay the greatest price
Of global warming are often those
Who gained the thinnest slice
The famine in Ethiopia informs us
That the effects of industrialization
Do not spare the relatively innocent
But impact equally all nations
Islands sink in the deep blue sea
Crops fail and rivers run dry
We pray to our gods but cannot wonder
The clear and obvious reasons why
