Notes About The Poem

" LIFE IN PERIL " FREE PHOTO.

Climate Warming

1.
Rumor has it on heavens above
Among the angels’ divine sphere
That God after very much though  
Decided in man’s life to interfere     

2.
For He has observed Man’s mistakes
Which lately too many came to be
To endanger the whole of creation
Act with which God can never agree

3.
So the Lord has most recently chosen  
The book of life before long to reprint
Revising certain of its very old chapters
While others out will leave, He has hint  

4.
The concern of humans is now to know      
Which chapters the book will not contain,
Which are going to be, somehow, revised
And which intact will forever remain

5.
What was heard through the vine though,   
It was Man’s huge and unbearable vanity
That made our almighty Lord and creator
To finally exclude the chapter of humanity  

6.
The reason our God in His infinitive wisdom
Reached such unexpected for Mankind conclusion
Is the fact that Man during his reign on earth
Has hurt our planet with his insensitive intrusion

7.
It might still be time for Man overall to be saved    
If he started correcting his many mistakes soon
Beginning by respecting life and the whole planet  
And stop behaving like a dim-witted buffoon.

*The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.12 degrees Fahrenheit (1.18 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, 
Most of the warming occurred in the past 40 years, with the seven most recent years being the warmest.
Last week temperatures in Canada rose to 50 Celcius and more than 50  Celcius in Siberia.

** According to UN “We  are in an era where climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical, ” and that   “Nobody on this planet
is going to be untouched by it."

Idiots driven by greed and recklessness, God gave us a beautiful place to live, shame that we have to share it with morons. When will they see the light? Greetings from Wales. Tom

- Climate change has dramatic consequences for the whole world - Today we know a lot about what is technically possible of measures that can reduce climate emissions, but we know less about what it takes to implement them - A top current topic great written, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Such a powerful write with a deep meaning... Climate change is really a serious issue, but the people have not fathomed the seriousness and you have beautifully described through your words of wisdom...

How could we save the planet and ourselves, if we do not believe that our planet and ourselves are in danger? I am really concerned when I see only three good people up to now that care. Thank you very much for caring dearest Supraja. The good Lord who sees everything may has mercy upon us all. God bless you for your kindness! Hugs xxx

Exceptional writing, dear friend Demetrios; you have touched on a very important issue for humanity and the existential issues on planet Earth; indeed, global warming is felt in all four corners of our beautiful planet, and we appear to have no power to reverse or stop it. Blessings and kindest regards

I think it is the most important issue at this time because our future and that of the planet is at stake. However, indifferent the world looks on, without realizing what is coming towards us. When catastrophe comes it would be impossible to put life, as we know it , on track again. Will we get serious? Thank you for caring, my friend, Lasaad. Blessings.

God bless you for caring, my dearest friend, Vijay! " The world should heed your warning." You say, my friend. Where is the world? You and I and some few of our friends here perhaps. The world seems to care more to impress and to have fun, than the survival of our race and of our planet. It seems we deserve what is coming. Thank you for caring, once more, my good friend, Vijay! Be blessed.
