Climate Change

Climate Change

With all this furor over emails
And the debating who, is right
How can anybody question
That we all face a real plight?

Our political persuasion
Or position, rich or poor
Should not, make a difference
We should all, try to do more.

The ice is disappearing
And the oceans on the rise
Drought and crops are failing
And less ozone in our skies.

Caused by Man or Nature?
Greenhouse effect from CO2?
From El Niño or La Niña?
Could they all be lies, or true?

It’s beyond comprehension
Some think, we don’t leave our brand
With our burning fossil fuels
As we desecrate the Land.

We pollute our precious water
Fish our oceans to the brink
Don’t worry as the Polar Bear
Is about to become, extinct.

Big polluters fight the change
Because, they don’t really care
Their bottom line is all that matters
They don’t want to do their share.

It’s the almighty dollar
Which will rule, in this fight
Unless the people of the World
Demand, we all do, what’s right.

It surely won’t hurt anything
If we at least, try to change our fate
Though, it might not make a difference
Because, it may already be too late.
