RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CLIMATE CHANGE
Houston Thunder
Ain’t it just like mother nature
To strike the vulnerable,
The unprepared, the ignorant,
The poor folks who don’t believe
That burning fuels for energy
Affects the global climate
Another superstorm strikes Houston
With the deadly force of thunder
Apocalyptic winds and twisters
With the power of natural vengeance
Killing seven, knocking out power
Reducing homes and buildings to rubble
Sending humans and animals to shelter
As if Houston was a war zone
As if some unknown enemy unleashed
Its weapons of mass destruction
But there is no war in Houston
There is no unknown enemy
These are only the forces of nature
On a rapidly warming planet
If we are not used to it we should be
If we are not yet prepared
It is past time we started
