Gaia Sighs

As the temperature begins to rise As the temperature begins to rise changing weather patterns mean more storming humans are doing little; Gaia sighs. Coal still burns in power stations, likewise; the car industry is nonconforming as the temperature begins to rise. Huge, wealthy corporations aggrandize consumers; it's all about performing. Humans are doing little; Gaia sighs. So hard to get the world to empathize when many are simply misinforming as the temperature begins to rise. Though just a few can see the world's demise there still is, too sadly, global warming, humans are doing little; Gaia sighs. You'll miss the flowers, birds, and butterflies, shade of trees, the touch of grass, bees swarming as the temperature begins to rise. Humans are doing little; Gaia sighs.

Very thought-provoking poem, Terry, and, of course, I always enjoy a good villanelle. I appreciate what you have to say very much.
