We Know That Poem by Francis Duggan

We Know That



We know that the weather climate is changing and us humans for this are partly to blame
Governments Worldwide ignore the warnings of environmental scientists jobs at the expense of the natural environment will become humanity's shame
The Polar ice caps are melting and sea levels beginning to rise
Those who exonerate humans from the sharp increase in Global warming are those who believe their own lies
Fossil fuels we continue to burn factory chimneys puffing black smoke to the sky
Why we do not heed the warnings of Environmental Scientists one only can wonder why
In a warming climate there will be droughts and famines where people in thousands will die
Those who claim we may become the cause of the extinction of our own species are not scaring us with a lie
More cars and more trucks make for more carbon emissions for our bad environmental practice the future generations may pay
For their weather related hardships kind things of us they may not say
For to change our environmental practices the present time is not too late
When we do abuse our Earth Mother a monster for ourselves we create
We know that the climate is changing yet by ignoring it we hope the problem will go away
I do pity future generations for our mistakes they will have to pay
