RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Weight of the World
The weight of the world bears down on us
Like a constant pounding storm
A chain of twisters surrounding us
On a planet that’s growing warm
Democracy is under siege
Everywhere across the globe
War and hunger, people grieve
We will fear what we don’t know
Our media institutions fail
We have chosen not to believe
We have placed our faith in holy grails
While we lose on every lead
And still the world grows warmer
The weight is bearing down
We’re in love with a snake charmer
As we run the ship aground
We hold out for better days
May the good and right prevail
May we strive to solve the maze
With all at stake we best not fail
