Poetic Verses

Beware of the Heat

There is a great  concern in many states and this  is for sure
It is that the elderly will be exposed and may succumb to the  heat once more
One can hear of reports all across some  states that the temperatures have  increase
And there has been reports that  some elderly people are now deceased

Perhaps a factor may be that plight cause by the present recession
That perhaps there was no money to purchase any cooling system
Even if there were some fans, these may soon prove ineffectual
And the wind dispensed may be  used  to transport heat by a  route that is convectional

What about we the people. Are we not making  some form of contribution
We readily use agent that  are having a depleting effect on the layer of ozone
So those ultra violet rays not deflected  are now getting much closer
Resulting in severe skin burns and  to  others some form of skin cancer.

Yes the green house gases quantity,  is increasing  so rapidly
This is also a great contributor to the  heat intensity and severity
As we destroy trees  hat use carbon dioxide, for that photosynthetic reaction
This process also gives off oxygen an important gas to the life of man

What about our industries that expel acid gases into the  atmosphere
Form acids in  the presence of moisture and  when they dissolve in rain
These acids pollute our waters, killing plants and one can  see the reaction
There is blackening of some buildings and  even some form of corrosion.

Let us all look at those  happening earlier in the year, those tragedies
As  in a short time places were hit by earthquakes  quite mercilessly
Other were fortunate as they only got some minor tremors
Perhaps we must examine our doing  and become   lesser contributors.
