Humanity Regroup To Survive

From near one pole to the other, from South to North,
Billions of tons of ice melt every year, climate change
It’s become one of the major problems on this planet thenceforth.

Planet Earth has suffered many disasters, henceforth
As oceans swirl and cause worldwide havoc, a total range, 
From near one pole to the other, from South to North,

Bush Fires cause incalculable damage to homes, once orth,
Now in ruins, animals die, bush, trees destroyed, people rearrange,
It’s become one of the major problems on this planet thenceforth.

In Australia, Knysna South Africa, Canada, other places, its wrath,
Sweeping across countryside, suburbs forcing snakes to writhe,
From near one pole to the other, from South to North, 

Frightening storms lightening, dangerous by water or a porth,
People, animals, tall structures at risk, comfort for safety in exchange
From near one pole to the other, from South to North,

People across our globe we plead with you, help us go forth
To find a solution, for we will all perish if we don’t, we must arrange
From near one pole to the other, from South to North,
It’s become one of the major problems on this planet thenceforth.

So true that this subject is becoming popular except with the powers that be. For they must balance their books.

Such a well thought out poem Jennifer, I love the way you encapsulate the whole planet, with the south to north reference repeating throughout, hopefully with the US back on board, some heads can get knocked together in Glasgow, before it’s too late, cheers David
