The Rising Seas

Can’t you see the climates changing?

Mother Earth is rearranging.

A rising sea laps at my feet,

Prairies scorched by soaring heat.

Shriveled crops cry out from thirst.

Some say we did not see the worst.

Critics claim its nature’s way

Man’s impact has played no sway

Seas may swell and glaciers melt

Before the full effects are felt

Cities down, shorelines retreat   

Streams disappear in sweating heat

Mother earth cries in despair

Why don’t people really care?

Our leaders claim it’s all a myth

Swallowing in apathy and ignorant bliss

Denying facts, it’s just a hoax

Designed to claim the common folks

But let’s unite and take a stand

To face the facts and save the land

If not, what will our children say?

A generation or two away! 

Will they cry out in despair? 

Why didn’t people really care?
