Easier To Pretend

People hide their feelings behind a smile;
hesitant to reveal how they're feeling.
Many are scared and have been for a while;
global warming has left their heads reeling.
Calling climate change a hoax won't stop it;
glaciers will melt, and the oceans will rise.
We're more frightened than we care to admit,
but today's askew world believes in lies.
No one wants to hear what they know is true;
it's easier to pretend Nature's great.
But Nature doesn't care what you say or do,
and like it or not, She'll decide your fate.
Leave your mask in the land of let's pretend
and face reality; these lies must end.
