Global Warming...Sonnet* Poem by elysabeth faslund
Global Warming...Sonnet*
Storms of Global Warming send us to Space.
Storms of overpopulation...to Mars.
Humanity will settle strange planets...
Remembering their kind ran the gauntlet
Of Man versus Nature, and almost won
At a cost they were not prepared to pay.
An o-ring brought one Shuttle down, to sea...
Tiles claimed another. We are the Species
Whose Manifest Destiny is the stars.
Stop now...and we crawled on land for nothing.
Stop now...and our Earth will have Tomorrow
On terms we can't run from, trade, or borrow.
Remember this day...Endeavor's true worth...
A massive storm brought this Shuttle to Earth.
I think you've made a very good point and it does have an impact - it's just so close to home - we can't but recognise the effects global warming is having on our environment - look at the natural disasters happening before our very eyes. Thank you for sharing this poem.
This is just great and I happen to agree, enough with the space thing, lets concentrate on the planet known as 'earth.' Then all would be improved....the travel messes up the atmosphere, imho....marci.
Very well done Liz and thanks for the quick mention towards the end....! ! ! Best, T.M..
