It’s climate change! They often cry

The thought of it all brings tears to eyes

We hear the storms, we see the floods

Whole villages disappearing in the mud

 

Earth quakes in places unseen before

As Mothers pick up babies from the floor

Land so parched by searing heat

People running on with bandaged feet

 

Wild fires rage amidst arid plains

As icebergs drift as they melt away

People starve as food becomes scarce

The thought of these things are hard to bear

 

One president said it was all ‘fake news’

While scientists consistently reveal the truth

The fact remains that we seek no hero’s

It’s vital that on emissions we meet net zero

 

What does this policy actually mean?

Will a reversion of what’s happening be seen?

Can we be absolved, can we be saved?

From the predicted deadly conclusions

of climate change?
