Cats Are Swimming In the Seas

It is snowing in Kansas. Florida has an earthquake. A tsunami in Texas, global warming gives us a shake. Weird for all of these countries to depend on a lie. Global warming has come midseason this fateful July. Dogs are raining in the Rockies. Cats are swimming in the sea. The world is upside down, topsy turvey, how crazy can it be? The ozone layer is almost completely and utterly dead. Lie down child, close your eyes, rest your tiny little head. Flowers and grasses are the things of the past. The last sixteen trees are dying, and I mean rather fast. The wise ones are on space ships, heading to sky-wonders-gate. I would have loved to be on the last transport but we were five minutes too late. Written: 11-21-2019 Contest: All about the Environment Sponsor: Richard Lamoureaux

Ouch Caren. A total definition of why not to be late lol. But I know it's more then that, but a captivating poem indeed. I was prompted by the title to take a look, and I'm happy but or sadly that I did. I love the twist of words of raining cats and dogs lol. Have you ever heard of the Georgia Guide Stones Caren? You might want to take a look; as well as the murals painted on the Denver, Arizona airport walls. Mind blowing. Thanks Caren.

It's terrifying what we have done to our Earth, ourselves.

I do not mind paying the price, but I do not want my grandchildren or their children to have to pay the price. They did not cause this insanity.
