What you so creatively and poetically explain is becoming a real fear, and I think that we will feel its wrath sooner than later. Man has almost destroyed planet earth with his negligent attitude. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Hey, there’s way too much money in the northwest passage...

Very telling Maureen. It's just a shame that so many people don't understand or are too stupid to believe that climate change exists. This poem really highlights the idea of consumerism and the impact it has on the environment. And when the "shelves" are empty and the users start complaining, it will be too late. A sad but excellent poem Maureen. Thank you.
