The poem “Lack of a Cure” is about the neglect of older generations in the arena of combating climate change. These elderly souls may pass from the earth before doom fully descends, but their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will shoulder the resulting hell.

Listen to poem:

The end will come very soon steal the beloved left behind after fools have expired sealing doom in aftermath a fate none seek is ensured by the lack of a pressing cure when medicine is put aside by the infirm who will die before the worse comes to pass leaving nothing then to last sweeping all from the earth reduced to beasts as a curse still the fools have their day staking comfort in the blink living large in twilight years before a hell descends to earth.
