Climate Displacement: Where Will The Displaced Dwell? Poem by James McLain

In rising tides and warming air, we find,
A world transformed by nature unkind.
Oceans encroach upon familiar lands,
While people yearn for solid shifting sands.

Where will they go, the ones left adrift,
As waters swallow homes and spirits lift?
Will shelter find them in the mountaintop,
Or in the arms of cities that won't stop?

A dance of displacement, a tragic waltz,
As climate change reshapes our earthly vaults.
A call to action, urgent and profound,
To seek solutions, common higher ground.

Let's build a world with empathy and care,
Extend our reach to those in deep despair.
For every soul who loses their abode,
Together, let's create a welcoming road.
