Global Warming

 

Can you imagine

a world of many bad

environmental choices

 

global warming

homes burning

flames

before our eyes

the remains of drought

fuelling it

 

faces covered

with pollution masks

unbearable smoke

 

hurricanes

ravaging homes

going on and on

never stopping

 

great coral reefs

dead and acidified

 

landfills to the brink

overflowing

 

beautiful birds

once chirped

dead

on a seashore

stomachs filled with trash

 

acid rain falling

from the sky

burning skins

killing  

freely roaming fish

 

once perfectly functioning

bodies

affected by lung cancer

and heart disease

 

once beautiful homes

now filled with mold, pests,

dust, radon,

and carbon monoxide

 

trees dead

shriveled up

heat burning

their core

 

ground barren

and fracked

all it’s oil pulled out

 

trees cut down

lands... deserts

 

or

 

oceans

clean

fish swimming gleefully

coral reefs

flourishing with life

 

blissful rains

moist grounds

flowers blooming

trees green

standing tall

birds chirping

bees buzzing

 

green playgrounds

kids playing

fresh trails

green and inviting

 

a world without global warming

it’s up to you and me
