RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Inferno in Paradise
The forests of Oahu are lush and green
The rainforest at Paradiso’s core
An event our eyes have never seen
Flames where they have never been before
As the earth begins a radical change
From its ceiling to its floor
We see things that are new and strange
We can foresee what is in store
The oceans rise to take the land
Great cities are no more
Get out now while you still can
The whole planet is at war
It is time for us to take a stand
This time it’s not a metaphor
Everyone must lend a hand
Young and old, rich and poor
We’re all in this together now
For better or for worse
We don’t know why or where or how
To fight this global warming curse
