The Rising of the Ocean The North Atlantic Ocean's rising Glaciers are melting as are ice caps Global warming wants some refining. Sadly Earth is craving devising Planets climate is reaching climax The North Atlantic Ocean's rising. Humankind must do their revising For now is the time to up the act Global warming wants some refining. Ensuing days are traumatising For future generations that's fact The North Atlantic Ocean's rising. To breathe we so need tree investing Too many have been felled in the past Global warming wants some refining. Our world badly wants redesigning Changes brought on must be made to last The North Atlantic Ocean's rising Global warming wants some refining. 22nd April 2021 ( Poem Form - Villanelle ) …………

Fear naught as the Bible assures us the Resurrection will erase all of our mistakes and make this world the perfect place to live, so hang loose .....Aloha! Rico

Probably so Rico, whilst we wait for a perfect dwelling place we need to give a helping hand to see things go as they were planned... Thank you, Belle
