Bora born
Recycled _
Too little too late on the scales that matter
the banshee wails down priests of high order.
As sure as false dawns feed a setting sun
our earth mother cries out, run rabbit run.
The year of completion ends in /09
her report card on man will surely find
two thousand and ten to be quite a year
driven by change, climates freaked out in fear.
By years end a temperature dome, oceans
scalded by greed in their tropical zone
thermodynamics spun out, nations cry
as wild sea levels rage, Islanders die.
In fits and spurts she will buckle then rise
to stretch then pulse in an extreme disguise
of heat born cold in more temperate zones
as dumber and dumber sceptics lie prone.
A decade to pass of climate extremes
to then reshape to a higher mean.
A cruisy few years then of settled fears
drowned out in a robin's round of ideas.
Then off she will race more gruesome this time
shock and awe the result of poison filled skies.
What have we done, can we still clean our home
sorry young ones, mum has pointed the bone.
