Climate Crisis Floods
The water soaked into the earth, cooling its parched throat, dripping through the crooked cracks and pooling in the deep, dry depths of the soil which drank it like a sot.

Super Wealth and Destructive Politics.
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…
