How Climate Denial Can Be Vile
Were it not enough to just disagree
but to reject all fact is beyond me.
History shows we don't see well ahead,
one is afraid of inheriting dread.
If left unchecked, here is what it will be:
Ah, strip the soil, pave the plains, stain the sea!
Ecosystems will be shifted forever,
real changes that will not be for the better.
Deniers deal doubts stacked onto a pyre,
to deny, makes honesty the liar.
Setting facts on fire, one chooses to conspire;
molten spears piercing liberal desire!
Theory confusion blocks conclusions,
turns plans into illicit illusions.
Nothing starts when it is doused by a doubt,
Fueled by false fears one's heard all about.
Pretzeled logic bound to be misunderstood -
these fake claims make fools forsake global good.
While science twists like a worm on a hook
will the populace give one earnest look?
As weather, as agro - life will suffer -
worlds in tumult spin tougher and rougher.
The minds of a few hold many in their grasp
without their agreement, none of us last.
