Curling leaves and cruel heat scorching the thirsty fruit,

smoke covered faces and sweat soaked uniforms,

telling the cost of carbon fuels.

—

Fires rage and ground cracks as the power of the few

imagines that they control the climate for the  wealthy

who vainly want their profits.

===

Children with their empty tummies rumbling and their

grumbling parents, who face starvation and the rich 

 – charge the poor for their banquets.

——-

Justice and mercy do not meet in our democracy now

for the few they have what they want and destroy lives;

but God will not be mocked.

—-

Silently, the power of the few has broken ranks and

slowly they will drift apart until their raft will sink

and will we throw them a life belt?

—-

History happened ,but will it come again?? that power

has been taken and nature enslaved to the ranks 

and bank of the oppressors.

—

Climate change brings a levelling up and a crisis

that we cannot imagine. And, like ants in water to

survive the whole must strive.

—-

They blink their eyes and shout on the biassed 

broadcast but the earth fills with the rising seas

and mountains become hills.

—

Some think three homes and billions of pounds

will keep them afloat but the naked truth does

not lie – we are destroying the gift

—–

of a planet, blue and green with polar caps

all for the sake of carbon fuels and motor

on as creation and people die.

May God help us!
