It's What People Say Poem by anais vionet

From the fiery hills of Maui
to the dry Canadian brush
from the flat lands of the delta
down to Texas on the gulf.

The weather's downright awful
you can hear the people say,
summers sometimes take bad turns,
but it's never been this way.

From the tall pines of the Great North West
to the Louisiana shore,
from Florida's boiling waters,
to California's reservoirs.

The weather's downright awful
you can hear the people say,
With the heat domes far above us
Montreal's hotter than Bombay.

From the fiery hills of Maui
to the dry Canadian brush
from the flat lands of the delta
down to Texas by the gulf

The weather's downright awful
you can hear the people say,
everyday the heat breaks records,
how long can we go on this way?

From the tall pines of the Great North West
to the Louisiana shore,
from Florida's boiling waters,
to California's reservoirs.

You can feel that something's different,
you can hear what people say.
It kind of makes you wonder,
how long can we go on this way?
