Earth's A Paradise

Full of wonder and imagination; beyond beautiful, Earth's a paradise. But humanity's role is in question, for we do untold things that make no sense. Food's plentiful; yet folks face starvation if they are born in a third-world nation. As the glaciers melt, and the forests burn; Climate Change keeps fueling disasters. And yet, Global Warming's labeled a hoax, politicians proclaiming it's fiction. The economy's set for a downturn: Global Warming is a major concern. Unless we all agree to mend our ways, Gaia will force Climate Change upon us. As seas rise, floods and famine will follow, while pandemics won't lag too far behind. And blaming migrants will launch the next phase in hastening humanity's end days.

Thought-provoking lines, Emile. We must begin to take Global Warming seriously. If we don't the future is mighty grim! Good writing, friend, on a topic that needs more and more attention.
