Ode To Global Warming

Catastrophe of the dry run The sea, Ice, air, human are rapture The powerful are brought to ruin Green horse making this World hot 70% is absorbed in heat 18 degrees Celsius balance the heat Mighty keeper of water in the lands Mighty destroyer of Islands Changing, charging chastising The atmosphere I see, I am part of your activities Burning of coal activities Carbon emission, 34%. 2020 activities 350,000 in Britain suffered your hands. 65,000 Dominican Republic feel your hands 500,000 in southern California left home to avoid your hand Denmark gathered the heads cos of your hand. The heads accept to make peace. If only it will go to the heart. Oh mighty one, tell me how to keep peace, Is it more of vegetation, so I keep peace? Or keep away carbon dioxide Nitrous oxide and methane for peace. Mighty one, tell me How you can lie low, for peace I know I used more than I put back to you. Should I have my own forest? But I know sunspots and solar flares started before me. REASONS OF WRITING This poem was writing out of inspiration on hearing and reading how this atmosphere has been badly used and the follow events caused by bad emission to the air, the changing in almost every natural events gave rise and when the heads of states gathered in Denmark to plan for the way forward. It is my contribution on how this atmosphere can be made for a better condition for us all to stay in. MESSAGE (1) This poem is a free verse, it run through without break, saying the major event that global warming has cause in the world. (2) That the heads of states decision in Denmark should be put into practice not mouth say. (3) That before man (human) started anything sunspots and solar flares started before man (4) We use more than we put back to nature. (5) That green vegetations is also a way forward. (6) Everyman should have his/her own or plant his/her own forest it is possible.
