Drought In The Amazon Poem by Francis Duggan

I have heard on the radio news of today
Of a drought in the Amazon Forest from here far away
Such sad news the worst news one could wish to hear
Than terrorism to Humanity a far greater fear
The Amazon Rainforest is the World's Environmental Soul
And with that in strife Climate Change is out of control
As much of the World's carbon emissions are absorbed by healthy Rainforest trees
And without them the World Climate will grow warmer by many degrees
Though the gravity in such news for Humanity none ought to deny
That it was not a news headliner I do wonder why?
Do we believe in not highlighting Climate Change and Global Warming that they will go away
Than war or terrorism a far greater threat to Human existence and it seems sad to say
That in tackling Climate Change our resolve is in doubt
Only hunger and death in a World ravaged by drought.
