A wave came,

no warning.

Shocked from tremors,

tending traumas in the streets,

they searched for neighbours in rubble. 

A terrible day,

an earthquake…

Then water.

Unexpected.

No sounding of alarms, 

no police, no army,

nothing to tell them

Evacuate!

It was too late.

He told the interviewer:

“I caught a rail.

Held fast as the ocean gushed past.

I saw cars,

I saw bikes,

I saw bodies...

I saw babies.

I lifted them to the top

placed them on stricken debris,

praying they would be swept to safety.”

5 million affected,

dead or injured,

lost their homes,

starving and isolated.

 

Did you ever lose something?

A watch? Your wallet?

A treasured ring?

Your photos?

Your child’s paintings?

What was the last thing you lost?

What was the cost?

Global warming -

is it a thing?

Scientists speculate sea level’s rising.

Greater surges to come,

storms intensifying.

More lives lost,

more homes gone.

The earth is rebelling

trying to take back it's shores.

Failing to heed the weather,

we should be ceasing.

Cries to slow emissions,

instead, we’re increasing.

Pumping hot gasses in our greenhouse,

surprised when we’re wilting. 

Are we listening to warnings,

or what our leaders say?

insisting global warming can’t be real

because It’s cold today.

I bet this sounds good as a performance piece.

Most of my poems are performance pieces. Probably about 80%. I think it’s because I’m so used to writing that way now, it’s become my natural style. 

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

I thought it was so terribly sad

The planet is definitely warming and the scariest thing is the possible release of dormant viruses with the melting of permafrost. Viruses which could have been dormant for countless millennia and which humanity may have long lost their reistance to.Enjoyed your poem!

You paint a pretty picture. Worldwide catastrophe, natural disasters apocalypse and eventual extinction of mankind. Like in the movies.

I agree with your sentiments Holly. However global warming is a reality the question is just what the reason is. At this scale it cannot be explained by human activities. Solar activity seems to me the most likely candidate. I doubt also that the reason could be carbon emissions. It is too convenient.

The hard thing is seperating nonsense from fact.

Keep well! Tom Brown
