Tundra Melting: Release Of Greenhouse Gases Poem by Richard St. Clair

Tundra Melting: Release Of Greenhouse Gases

Rating: 5.0


I read alarming news today, O boy,
The Arctic Permafrost in a state of melting:
The ghastly haunting truth of it is jelling,
Depriving me of any naive joy.
This state of affairs is not a joke or fraud,
It's really happening as I write these lines,
Too late to punish the guilty ones with fines:
But many shrug: "It's just an act of God."
And thus, while homes are swept away in floods,
And farms are deluged in torrential rains,
They start to wonder, in their addled brains,
What's causing this to spoil their comfort moods.
It's not the weather, it's the climate, fools,
That's changed your lives with a whole new set of rules.
