Climate


the great lie pelted my roof
ruptured clouds of dark soot
banging to get my attention

i cringe beneath the attack
sweating from the humidity
knowing the planet's dying

innocent humans weeping
petro-moguls still grinning
polluting coal stacks smoking

no burly angry god coming
to right the wrongs of money
to sweep the climate clean

doom comes in flood water
the end is pain and misery
millions die, more sadly born

we bowed to the oil barons
we let them stop paying taxes
we made our own bad ending
