RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Killer Flames
The curse of Prometheus is upon us
The light of the heavens
The warmth of the gods
The greatest gift ever bestowed
Become the destroyer of man
Once we knew how to control the flames
We employed them to cook our food
To warm our homes
To bring light to darkness
To mold metals into useful form
But that which once served humanity
Has now become our enemy
A killer of our people
A destroyer of our abodes
We must learn again how to use fire
We must learn how to control it
We must learn how to defend our homes
Our schools and buildings
Our towns and cities
From the devastation of runaway flames
We must work to balance the forces of
nature – wind, rain, fire and ice –
or the forces of nature will work
together to destroy us
