RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
World on Fire
The world’s on fire because of us
Because of what we’ve done
In our leaders we’ve lost trust
The whole planet’s on the run
Think of what we’ve handed down
From the generations past
Our way of life has been unwound
The damage done is vast
We have left a world on fire
Catastrophes and drought
A world balanced on a tight wire
Without a clear way out
We wish we had it all again
I swear we’d do things differently
These are the doings of lesser men
The ones who worshiped greed
They didn’t care what harm they did
They plotted and they planned
They answered to the highest bid
They built their castles grand
Soon they’ll answer for their lapse
Their callousness and greed
They’ll hear the bells toll and the taps
They’ll find a place of need
