Left On the Shelf
Continental Shelf with its Continental Slope
If the Antarctic Ice Shelf melts
Continental Shelf gloats.
If its near flat land, it will gain on thee
As it extends its flow, we will never gain you see
Our seas will rise, as the ocean floors deepen
This heavenly land will become its seeking.
With the flood plains finally left on the shelf
Our mountains will become, small hill like elf's
Not so giant as in their day
Many will look like Tor's, in many a Bay.
If Global warming, is its result
Our Populi need to stand up and shout
If not for us, but our Children's generation
The powers that be, have to stand to attention.
Solar Variation, Greenhouse Effect
Two processes, Governments have to reflect
Carbon emission's, Ozone layer
Were probably all at fault, not earthly players.
One day we may look back, and wonder why
Too ignorant too talk, or just too shy
But will we have the guts
To look our planet in the eye.
