Global Warning
It’s the last dawn
Earth took all she could take
Said all she could say
Hurricanes
Earthquakes
Tsunamis
Tornadoes
Mudslides
Drought
Fires
Floods
All ignored
Corporate and political leaders
continued on their greedy
self-absorbed paths
The masses cried out
Peaceful protests
Petitions
Marches
Demonstrations
Rebelling against
Climate change
Fracking
Contrails
Pollution
Foods genetically modified
Animal mistreatment
War
All ignored
It’s the last dawn
The poor
Rich
Healthy
Sick
Young and old
perished together
taking animal and plant
life with them
And earth spins on
Inhabited by bodiless souls
silently waiting for
new species
– Shelley Lowell
