RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Xi Takes the Lead
While America proclaims a hoax
China moves ahead
Making Xi a little more woke
And lessening the dread
Of a climate change denier
Living in the White House
A dirty coal supplier
A deal with Doctor Faust
Reducing carbon emissions
In the interest of humankind
Reduces our suspicions
Of what China has in mind
For all our best decisions
Depend on what we find
In the hope of nuclear fission
And the global warming bind
As America steps back
The Chinese take the lead
Where science is under attack
All of Europe feels the need
There’s something that we lack
When the whole world plants a seed
While we run off the tracks
In record numbing speed
