The Polar Ice Caps Melting Poem by Francis Duggan

The Polar ice caps melting as the sea levels rise
A World of flooded coastal Lands not hard to visualize
In the Artic in a decade from now there may not be a Polar Bear
So many species of birds and animals on the endangered list
and so many species rare
To combat Global warming I cannot say I've done my best
As an environmentally aware person I have not passed the test
Above the coastal city black smog lines in the sky
Of droughts and floods, storms, fires and famines no need to wonder why
The warnings of environmental disasters by Climate Change experts 'twould seem have been in vain
Why we only fear an economic downturn is beyond me to explain
The economy is built on Nature and when Nature is feeling ill
The economy will die a natural death our fate is Nature's will
The World climate changing from north to southern shore
And we talk of the economy and Nature we ignore.
