New World
May 12, 2011
The world is getting hotter and hotter.
The poles are melting like ice cubes.
Oceans and temperatures are rising.
Record after record of hottest days to date.
We are shooting ourselves in the head.
We are not thinking.
Our SUVs and minivans are shooting out carbon,
like a broken well.
Meanwhile, we cut down trees,
the primary reducer of CO2.
A little cyanide here, a little metal there,
I bet this water will taste good.
Putting poisons in our water,
and BPA in our children’s toys,
is such a great idea.
This is the New World, get used to it.
