RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
A Blizzard in the Warming
The world is filled with ironies
A wicked winter storm
Belies the greater truth
The earth is growing warm
Like sunshine on a winter day
Or like the tree that shades us
A cold streak in the month of May
The greater truth evades us
The hottest year in millennia
One hundred thousand to be clear
Cave men at the dawn of time
Did not see so hot a year
I am not worried for the earth
I am not worried much at all
I’ve lived my life for what it’s worth
I’m nearly ready for the fall
But I’m worried for the young ones
Who have not fully lived their lives
The good old days are almost done
Soon the reckoning will arrive
