From the fiery hills of Maui to the dry Canadian brush from the flat lands of the delta down to Texas on the gulf. The weather’s downright awful you can hear the people say, summers sometimes take bad turns, but it’s never been this way. From the tall pines of the Great North West to the Louisiana shore, from Florida’s boiling waters, to California’s reservoirs. The weather’s downright awful you can hear the people say, With the heat domes far above us Montreal’s hotter than Bombay. From the fiery hills of Maui to the dry Canadian brush from the flat lands of the delta down to Texas by the gulf The weather’s downright awful you can hear the people say, everyday the heat breaks records, how long can we go on this way? From the tall pines of the Great North West to the Louisiana shore, from Florida’s boiling waters, to California’s reservoirs. You can feel that something’s different, you can hear what people say. It kind of makes you wonder, how long can we go on this way? .

Very lyrical Anais with some really innovative rhyme form, I don’t believe it’s the apocalypse, but definitely a very serious warning from nature, brilliant poem and brutally honest, your final line asks the right question, cheers David

You have butted in on a personal comment between Anais and myself, now enough grandstanding, come on over to my page, and try out this drivel, sorry again Anais

Are you the arbiter of whose page I can comment on and who not? Interesting. The point of view I offered was meant to help, not harm, and is a pov shared by millions around the globe, backed up by a book that has a circulation in the billions and has been translated in over 3000 languages. It offers a hopeful view of the future rather than a pessimistic, cynical one. We're all for hope, right? Have a great day. Both of you

Lots of stuff people don’t have answers to, visit my page if you want to talk about any issues you have whatsoever, Anais page is not the place for you to pontificate or butt in, so come on over and say to me personally whatever you want to, I’ll do the rest, sorry about this Anais

I find it interesting that while both of you admit to not having an answer, you ignore the one most obvious, ie, the One who created our planet obviously has a vested interest in it and will not allow wicked, greedy mankind to destroy it. Jesus will save planet earth and all life on it, sooner rather than later. Watch for it

Yeah it’s one of those really big issues none of us have the answer to, so you’re not on your own there

Thanks, no, not a biblical apocalypse anyway - but a serious issue than I have NO idea what to do about. Thanks for the comment!

Excellent poetic take on the issues facing mankind at this critical time in human history. I strongly believe these are the last days, but there is good news. The answer to your question can be found here (Psalm 37:10,11) and here (Revelation 11:18)
