Curling leaves and cruel heat scorching the thirsty fruit,
smoke covered faces and sweat soaked uniforms,
telling the cost of carbon fuels.
—
Fires rage and ground cracks as the power of the few
imagines that they control the climate for the wealthy
who vainly want their profits.
===
Children with their empty tummies rumbling and their
grumbling parents, who face starvation and the rich
– charge the poor for their banquets.
——-
Justice and mercy do not meet in our democracy now
for the few they have what they want and destroy lives;
but God will not be mocked.
—-
Silently, the power of the few has broken ranks and
slowly they will drift apart until their raft will sink
and will we throw them a life belt?
—-
History happened ,but will it come again?? that power
has been taken and nature enslaved to the ranks
and bank of the oppressors.
—
Climate change brings a levelling up and a crisis
that we cannot imagine. And, like ants in water to
survive the whole must strive.
—-
They blink their eyes and shout on the biassed
broadcast but the earth fills with the rising seas
and mountains become hills.
—
Some think three homes and billions of pounds
will keep them afloat but the naked truth does
not lie – we are destroying the gift
—–
of a planet, blue and green with polar caps
all for the sake of carbon fuels and motor
on as creation and people die.
May God help us!
