In The Age Of Climate Change Poem by Francis Duggan

The last few days have been quite wet it has made a lot of rain
And the migratory magpie geese back on Tower Hill lake again
Where water is abundant they always congregate
Birds known to be rare in Victoria though i have seen small flocks of them of late
For the past decade it does seem the weather has been strange
Long spells of drought followed by heavy flooding in the age of Climate Change
A huge earthquake in New Zealand and a huge earthquake followed by a tsunami in Japan
That have left thousands dead and homeless within a few weeks span
Fatal floods and cyclones in Queensland angry Nature spreading fear
For thousands Worldwide due to weather 2011 a tragic year
Thousands of acres of crops destroyed in storms and flooding Climate Change affects everyone
By Nature in her moods of anger so much damage has been done
The creek and river bank high as well as the roadside drain
And the magpie geese the rain birds are back in Tower Hill again.
