Sea Levels Rise, Then What
It gets worse day by day,
because of our neglect.
But we look other way
and vital facts reject.
For years we’ve seen warning
but always close our eyes.
As glaciers start melting,
we watch sea-levels rise.
Antarctic ice now thaws.
More water this sets free.
Into ocean it pours,
so further rise we see.
Our carbon footprint grows.
We must accept this fact.
But our reluctance shows
in that we’re slow to act.
We dare not think it true,
so seek easy option.
We don’t know what to do
so we take no action.
Our air pollution grow,
but we put off the day
when we must change our show,
for then we’ll have to pay.
