Heated Hearts

Too much change, everything’s different,
How do we live here in the present?
Hot air rushing in our lungs like a vent,
Contagious fires, bright and fluorescent.

Dry cracked ground like our hearts,
Slowly drifting away, all off the charts,
Icecaps melting with all our hope,
All of humanity holding on by a rope

As the sky cries for us,
A painful topic all should discuss,
Signs go up in the sky, protesting for our planet,
Controversy posing potential threats.

Choked turtles and sick koalas,
As our faith walks on broken glass,
Getting worse, not enough help,
Watching as everything melts.
