Selfishly, I like the warm September
But the Arctic melt
So dramatic
Presages
Catastrophes to come
Climate change deniers
Your time is up
From floods to fires and
God knows what else
The cats are long gone from that old bag
Enjoy your house while it still stands
Enjoy the forests that surround your land
Before you know it
They’ll all be gone
Before you know it
They’ll be long gone
So say goodbye
To what we know
And say hello to a horror show
It’s shaping up to fall apart
Just wait and see
And say hello

Hard to “like” this one–I am hoping we can do something to stop this, but am not as optimistic as I would like to be.
Oh, sorry–where are my manners–outside of that gut reaction above, this is quite the powerful poem David. Well done.
Thanks Susan – it’s amazing to me that there are still so many people who disregard the evidence. This piece was provoked by a report about the dramatic arctic ice melt this year.
