RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Summer Winds
The summer winds blow hot this year
Sparking dry brush into flame
The people run or hide in fear
On the outskirts of Marseille
For this the French are well prepared
They halted trains and planes
Though the fire spread and flared
It was tempered in the main
Wildfires strike across the globe
The floods and monster storms
Catastrophes will come in droves
As the planet has grown warm
It’s far too late to stem the tide
Disasters will come hard and fast
Destruction will be far and wide
The damage done will last
Tell your leaders everywhere
In every town and nation
The time is now to get prepared
For the great acceleration
