so remember when politicos said there’s no climate change and the waters weren’t gonna rise along the coast well try telling that to the critters outside your door
rusted prayers like night smoke rings leave the lips as an offering to the void of hope prayers in a voice as dry as the barren fields where dreams were planted were that the bed’s pillow were the land it would yield a bountiful crop and then there would be no lonely nights
the skies have closed up we’re unable to breathe what was life now seems like death a child’s birth into this world of chaos is not a glimmer of hope but a reason for regret for as many have asked what have we condemned this child to how could we be so thoughtless but those same thoughts were our fathers’ and mothers’ so we share a guilt with all those who came before
these things do sometimes happen and have been prescribed as an act of god you know that old god willing stuff like god gives a damn about what happens on earth given duties of the universe new stars births and such a more appropriate criminal is perhaps humankind those arbitrary atoms bombarding one another unable to control even minor reactions with one another but let’s set guilt aside and consider the ingestion of poison poison clearly labelled yet taken without reservation so who should bear the burden of blame those concocting notorious chemical compounds of death or those refusing to read the labels which is just another case of ignoring the handwriting on the wall perhaps we’ll need another burning bush to validate the obvious
i want
to
sincerely
express
my appreciation
for
your honest
statement
of
your deepest trepidations
but
as a mild point
of
perspective
i liked
to
call to your attention
to
this year’s
169 thousand deaths
of
mothers
that occurred
during
childbirth
oh
and
the
2 million hectares
of
forest
that has been lost
to erosion
erosion
produced
by
man’s negligence
of
the planet
oh
and one last thing
to mention
the
23 thousand people
who died
of
hunger
today
but
your serious
concerns
about
the availability
of
live lobsters
in
your local
market
will
of
course
be
given
appropriate
consideration
step right up and place your bets bet whatever dollar amount you wish there are no limits but all bets regardless of the wager are for your life toss the dice of climate change where the words of the game are loaded and suggest you can win but the reality is the house always wins and in this case the house is death hey but if you’re feeling lucky spin the wheel of global warming watch the wheel whirl like a planet out of control where the potential payout odds for survival are well let’s just say enjoy the game
once a beloved family member charged with nurturing and sharing life’s wealth and tho it was given there would be no massive lifespan this sad reality has been forced by the reoccurring drain of resources so it is that earth has decided to put humans down to relieve the pain and suffering of the world
