Notes About The Poem

Bee To Be

Then soon the climate migration began
when one they called Ian had ravaged our land
So fiercely he raged with his power and might
all would lay waist in the wake of his flight 

So was the damage that Ian had done
the people were left but to follow the sun
Masses of people now needing a home 
many left stranded to endlessly roam

Ian had not been the first of his kind 
others had come with a furious mind
but his was a wrath leaving such devastation 
attention to climate change gained revelation

People were leaving where temperatures soared 
wells ran dry and fires roared
Some had to leave where waters were rising
all of their worlds felt the weight of capsizing

Suddenly cities and towns were outgrown 
the people kept coming from places unknown 
With resources slow to keep up with the pace
compassion would soon test the whole human race

Climate migration has only begun
The heart of the whole human race must be won
What other chance will we have to survive
than to trade in our sides for the mind of a hive?

Aloha! Jeannie Cronin September 30, 2022 at 12:28 PM If you ever get that explanation, I’d love to know. Thanks for stopping by.
