Demonstrations' Heat

a fourstitch (quatrain), chain-rhymed in response to global warming and climate change Environmental agendas of the left see such solutions left far behind in the demonstrations of today. The political climate is shifting. “Peaceful” protests have left us bereft. they are scarcely more than a blind for annihilation’s holiday. There are few signs of the smoke lifting. Violence, fires, murder and theft are the accepted answer we find in angry, youthful, political naïveté. Our moral climate in a fog is drifting. 2020 discovers our nation cleft by childish fabrications designed as name-calling, verbal horseplay. The backwash creates wide rifting. Eco-friendly debate was never adept in the chaos of our fiscal disarray - an appeasement for activists’ protégé, and more stimulus? mere spendthrifting.
