Twisters - a Tale of Global Warming

Decade ago, the world laughed, at the hole in the ozone layer, the global warming was a joke, the scientists got ridiculed. Now a decade later, the ground hog is confused, the grizzly bears can't hibernate, the polar bears can't find their icebergs, The migrating birds don't know their winter destination. Somewhere there is summer in winter, somewhere it is draught in rainy weather, There is ice age in some mild weather lands, there is spring in the cold arctic frigid lands. Never heard of twisters in post warm winter, The bands appear every night from Midwest to the south in USA, In a blink, small towns get erased, not once but twice, Families, children get tossed apart, many dies in this natural fury. The personal and material losses are staggering, Only hope and faith keeps people alive and surviving, On first instinct, we may think it to be the act of God, On second thought, we are overlooking our grave mistakes. May be the politicians will realize the danger, Too much of pollution and urbanization hurts mother earth, What will be the use of being super rich or super powerful? When the nature will wipe us out in a moment from the face of the earth.

Well said Jay. If all the polititions keep denying the problem, it will get worse by the day. Who knows what we are headed for, or worse, what our children and grandchildren are headed for. Loved your poem.

Grave thoughts that need deeper analysis and introspection. When we abuse nature, she will naturally retalliate. We cannot see them as God's fury. Neither can we blame God for our fate. Through too much of urbanisation and pollution, we have dug our own grave.

We've both contributed to this time and this state, God made no mistakes, and mankind has made many. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Jay. Have a great weekend, my friend. Bill

- The politicians are still sitting there scratching their heads ... waiting for everything to work itself out ... life goes on ... and they get their pay - Well written, Jay :) - hugs

Only God can reverse the damage and bring about a new Eden. And he will, sooner than many think (Psalm 37:10,11)
