Climate change and sad times are heading our way global warming is here, and it's here to stay. Oceans are rising; time is ticking away, we didn't listen to what science had to say, and gambled our future for-profit and play. We refuse to treat our planet as we should, yet blantly spread the lie that all is good. And giving little credence to brotherhood, we are only concerned with our neighborhood. Children go hungry in a world of plenty, as the rich drain the poor, penny by penny, consuming all, leaving little, if any. The gun has replaced the dog as Man's best friend and we won't abandon them; wars never end. Hurricanes are morphing into monstrous storms. Still, no one listens to scientists today; we clear jungles to meet our demand for wood. Planet-wide pollution caused by so many continues to rise as we overextend; soon, saturation will establish new norms.

Wondering if somehow the COVID-19 threat has something to do with Climate Control. But I guess that would be conspiracy theory. I like this one too, Emile Pinet. Enjoyable read.

Excellent, Emile! Please post this on my page, Poetic Justice. I just love it. It has such an important message. I've been thinking about "global warming" all day today and here is your perfectly expressed poem about it. I don't believe it's a coincidence.

Emile, love your theme on what is happening today. Unfortunately, our "leaders"are still saying these people print fake numbers. Mother Nature is and will continue to make us pay for our stupidity. Thank you for your write.

Wait a second, we were told not to worry about global warming. We were told it is a myth, a fantasy, by an expert, a man who admits he does not read. So how can this poem make any sense? Ha! I am so laughing my guts off here. Good one my friend, TRUTH news, in the form of a poem!
