God Its Hot

God its hot
Is it not?
Or am I losing the plot

As climate change has again reappeared, not that it actually went anywhere
So, it’s time we again faced our fears, as its not getting any better my dears

So, you can turn up your AC, to make you feel cool
Turn off the TV and your newsfeeds as well, so you don’t have to see or hear
Then turn on your hose to water your field and to fill your swimming pool
Your fridge is doing nice, as its still making ice

But climate change is now here
Not that it wasn’t before, just that you shut the door
Not that one that keeps you cool
But the one time you ignore to take notice of the news
The time when we all should choose
To face up to reality, for our families
And stop the insanity that we don’t care

Water will run out first
Not mine maybe, but yours will, then others follow and finally we are a desert earth
Flora and fauna will have long gone
Because we couldn’t agree
The time to save humanity

Best Wishes
DAMO x

Daniel Turner July 18, 2022 at 5:21 PM This is a poem everyone should read. If not to inform, to remind. As our forests burn they take us with them. In the Bible it says the world will be destroyed by fire. The kicker is it will be done by human hands. Well done, Damian. However i fear it is too late. Damian Keady July 19, 2022 at 12:32 PM Thankyou Daniel.. we are on the same page, we need to get the majority on it as well, as that's the only way to we can maybe halt the inevitable.. kind regards DAMO
