WARMING WARNING

Our climate is warming
The speed is alarming
Could this be a warning
 
Our greenhouse gases rise
Polluting worldwide skies
Now comes a surprise

The planet is heating
From our carbon burning
And we’re still not learning

We aim for personal gain
And simply show no shame
As we play selfish game

But now we get the flack
Nature’s on the attack
The pendulum swings back
 
We’d enough for our need
But then we turned to greed
And made our planet bleed

We didn’t care tuppence
Ignoring common sense
Now we face consequence

Our climate is warming
The speed is alarming
Could this be a warning
