For The New South Welshmen who survived the stinker yesterday .
man it was a hot one
like seven inches from the midday sun
way over the century mark
global warming is here to stay
was the hottest year this year
will even be hotter next year
south australia is burning
no worries mate
as long as the giant corporations
are stashing it away
sitting pretty on profits
that's all that counts
what happens
when the water dries up and the crops fail?
future generations can deal with that one
We have a developed a "not in my lifetime" mentality so let future generations worry about that. That the Earth's average temperature has risen 1 degree in the last 100 years is of no consequence to anybody because they won't be here in another 100 years when it happens again or more and the consequences are catastrophic. Not only is nothing thought of the Earth we care not one iota for our children either. No uses complaining to politicians we only pay them a pittance compared with what industry does.
ReplyDeleteSeven inches of midday sun - what an effecting image nicely converted into your poem...yep...pennies in the pot worth more than the next generation where money will become obsolete in the effort to survive..thank heavens we have music and words
ReplyDeleteThey can't beat it so let's hope they find a way to beat it. Winter has just arrived here with a cruel vengeance. I wonder what it will dump on us this time round?

The world is changing everyday and corporate greed will always be at play..lining their pockets not caring what tomorrow will bring.
