Inspired the Doomsday Clock, 2 Minutes To Midnight Poetry Competition - Bo-Boo-Boom

BO! BOO! BOOM!!!!!!!

Be frightened, be very frightened, BOO!! be scared!
It is about time we all got together and cared!
The doomsday clock, 2 minutes to midnight, fair warning declared!
Unless we do, that's me and you. Pay attention, let me be heard!
Plastics? Many problems since 1907 and none knowingly shared!
Fossil fuels, coal, oil, gas, all CO2 pollution; govs, businesses all jeered!
Most in denial, fake news, other countries conspiracies, they dared!
Governments have gone crazy, businesses blasé, more than we feared.
For Govs. vote green, let it be a worldwide mission, nature prepared!
Nature prepared, not for an ending, for our future, thoughts shared!
Wars, humans fighting why? One fight! For nature, you are dared!
Wars' add to pollution, not a solution, stop all pollution be prepared!
Not for death, that's final, but a future where all life will be revered!

Regards Tom. Mick Talbot February 5, 2018 at 12:39 PM I meant to ask, "The premium poetry contest, I can't participate in them, can I?
