Emile Pinet Poet Couplet

Passive-Aggressive

Global warming leads to climate change;
that's why the weather is acting strange.

Pollution and deforestation;
now affect every single nation.

Feels like the planet's overcrowded;
people are scared; their judgment clouded.

Xenophobia is on the rise;
as folks harbor hatred in their eyes.

Everyone, it seems, is filled with rage;
we're behaving like rats in a cage.

Passive-aggressive is the new fad;
dealing with cell phone Karens; how sad.

Free speech fuels the spreading of hate;
condoning violence as of late.

And yet, we cannot abandon hope,
we'll get past this; we'll find ways to cope.

We are the masters of our domain,
given free will; we will not choose pain.

I pray that democracy survives
intact: outside library archives.

We may well wish we had it someday,
then realize: we gave it away.
