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.
