RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
The Drought
Lakes Powell and Mead are running dry
The Colorado is endangered
We know the simple reasons why
The strange is getting stranger
A victim of global climate change
A winter dry as bones
The ecosystem rearranged
The riverbeds of stone
Seven states are wondering
Just when their share runs out
The truth will leave a lasting sting
The warming’s not in doubt
Desalination is the only way
The west will survive the drought
Our world has gone so far astray
In time we’ll figure out
We had a chance to stem the tide
But now it’s far too late
We’re in it for a rocky ride
Hard times will be our fate
Some may wish to ride it out
The chips fall where they may
But one more year of stifling drought
And all will feel the pain
