Poem Title:
Poem
As I wake up to the dawn of another day I wrestle with myself and ask why bother Just another day, without any warmth There is a chill in my heart, sadly this is true The coffee pot sings, an attempt to lift spirits I confess I welcome even this small endeavor A machine trying to cheer me up, In this a cold cold cold world How can this be? Me so thirsty and cold? I hypnotically prepare for another day As I curse Al Gore I see you all scurry from here to god knows where Curious I ponder what’s the rush? Snow falls from a dreary sky A blanket of white to chill us even more A child romps happily in springtime meadows Chasing butterflies and dreams His heart now filled with Vodka Ice How did such warmth turn into an ancient glacier? In the subway deep underground I see a stranger, a woman, tears falling Icicles form under her eyes She too has a frozen heart I would hug her, with words of comfort If not for the invisible cold barrier between us We are many on this subway of desire So close, yet we all feel the northern winds of loneliness This world of love and compassion has become frozen We have forgotten the season of spring We have been frozen out of emotions garden We shiver here in the cold together alone I rise up from the subways depths I know my heart was murdered by the arctic winds Something inside of me , cries Go Go Go melt something, anything I pass the newsstand selling flowers I buy one single rose The woman with icicle tears is nearby I hand her this rose I whisper, what this planet needs Is some global warming She smiles a sad thank you As I walk away, hoping Global warming takes hold
