No Surprise
Warmed by the silicon chip,
glacial ice melts drip by drip,
And as ocean waters rise:
floods should come as no surprise.
Global warming is no myth:
we need to prepare forthwith.
Humanity is at stake:
it's no time to bellyache.
The world's forests are burning
while famine is returning.
And those uprooted by drought,
realize there's no way out.
Fear settles border disputes
with immigrants without roots.
And when plastics kill the fish,
Hope will morph into a wish.
Mega storms will terrorize
with winds and all that implies.
And when disease and death spread,
millions will be sick or dead.
