Global Hardening Poem by Sonny Rainshine

Global Hardening



A single particle of misunderstanding,
One degree of uncharitable accusation,
a discharge of corruption,
an emission of malice
an icing-over of the globe,
a conflagration of ill-will,
all merge and meld into
a hardening of the globe.

As the earth heats up,
humanity chills.

Suspended inside this ice age of antipathy,
this bleak tundra of rancor,
lies a proposal:
If eons-old glaciers can melt
into placid lakes,
cannot the hearts of men?

Virtually I am standing and clapping my hands to the honour of this poem, sir. This a particularly nice poem in its appeal to degeneration of humanity...Thank you. Regards, N.D.
