Susan Gentry Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

Evolving World

Ever since world's creation
earth's reshaping is of note.
Climate-modified history records
begin about the nineteenth century.
Theories document data revealing
collective effect of change
influence climate patterns.
Paleoclimate ice age records show
solar fluctuations, volcanic strength.
Human-induced environmental threats
are minor in the big scheme
of climate change dynamics.
People should not be held responsible
for and cannot in a meaningful scope
deter circumstances of climate change.
Some say this process has to
be stopped. They also predict
dreadfully harmful outcomes to future
generations with no real suggestions
how to reverse or slow down climatic
events. Billions of dollars
have had no effect so far.

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2018 at 2:55 PM It's a horrible thing to even think about, and I know some people who believe it's all "fake news" so of course, they will do nothing to help the situation with that attitude. Time alone will tell us the answer! A nice deep one for the contest Susan Gentry April 2, 2018 at 5:06 PM I do agree time will tell. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Akkina Downing March 27, 2018 at 8:35 PM Couldn't agree more! What could man possibly do to stop climate change? Some of the small islands in the pacific are going under water, no mater how much they tried to safe the islands. No one can stop the water to rise above the walls they built and suck the land under. Sad! I do wish they'll find a way for real...Awesome write Susan and best of luck! Hugs :) Susan Gentry March 28, 2018 at 10:19 PM Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback.
