RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
The Year of Warming
The year of warming has arrived
The year when everything changes
The year when diehard skeptics awaken
The year tornado alley became an expressway
from California to New Jersey
The year the Midwest became a wasteland
on the trail of mass destruction
The year the south became a cemetery
The year no one could escape the ravages
of global climate change
The year deniers were denied
We mourn the dead and suffering
We can no longer look away
The time for warning is over
The change is here to stay
(From the news: A swarm of tornadoes
hits eleven states, taking over 30 lives.)
