Climate Matters

The Earth is slowly baking But nobody seems to care, There’s footie on the Tele Election Fever in the air. The rich are getting richer The poor more beaten down The food banks growing In every City and town. Another summer approaches, Maybe another of brush fire But it’s better for sunbathing As temperatures climb higher. On the cosmic scale of time We exist less than a blink So let’s all make merry while Pacific Islands start to sink. The rich man watches his portfolio, The poor man watches his team In their own specific way Each follows their own dream. Life is so short really We’re all in such hurry So I’m all right Jack and let’s Let future generations worry.

great poem, terry, with an ending that is spot-on. people should be much more concerned with the earth that we'll be leaving to future generations, but that doesn't seem to be the case...
