Notes About The Poem

Point of No Return

The truth stood downcast in the lie,
Antarctica ice is melting;
Faster than scientists told us,
Point of no return upon us.

Warm air and less frigid water,
The truth stood downcast in the lie;
We were told not for centuries,
Ice cliffs hundreds of feet- falling.

All caused by greenhouse emissions,
Ice melting-  loss of habitat;
The truth stood downcast in the lie,
Polar bears, seals, penguins need ice.

This picture painted is so dire,
Severe storms, flooding and heat waves;
Destruction of Earth is real,
The truth stood downcast in the lie.

Mark Woods July 29, 2016 at 1:23 PM The second poem I've read this morning which is so true. The earth could handle mankind until a couple hundred years ago, and then with industrialisation and technological advancements we are annihilating the planet. However she will bite back...
