RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
Fire Wind and Rain
The rain in Spain no longer falls
The south of France is burning
They’re building up their firewalls
The climate tide is turning
Waves of heat sweep overland
The winds are blowing strong
Again we’re forced to make a stand
But the nightmare will go on
We need to change our thinking
The places where we build
Our best laid plans are sinking
We are losing strength of will
What happens there will happen here
In face it’s happening today
As danger and destruction nears
We’ll be forced to move away
The ravages of mother earth
Are moving to the fore
We’ll have to measure what it’s worth
An end to every war
For we have a common enemy
We’ll need all of our resources
We’ll reassess our common needs
And unify our forces
