How Can I Sleep?

How can I sleep when the ice is melting? It is hotter now than it was an hour ago and it’s my fault! How could I have been so blind, selfish, unthinking! The polar-caps are going away and I am sure someone will blame me. I just wanted to stay warm. I just wanted to ride to work, to the store and school. I thought I was just living the dream, the life that was cut for me when I was born but I used up all the oil; it is gone –all gone but for a little bit that is selling for a whole lot. I have drunk all the water too; damn me! We are running out of it! It is the number one problem facing the world today People, people are going without water every day. I was just thirsty, I thought there was more! The caps are melting- we are out of oil- we need more water! It's all my fault! God help us! We need more oil, to give off more heat, to melt more ice to have more water! – What! What? Who said that? Who’s running this show! Ah, yes; I’m sorry George, go back to sleep.
