The Planet is Burning

A heavy mix,

For a quick fix,

To reverse,

The worse,

Of the curse,

Planets overheating

Animals bleating,

Land retreating,

Ice melting,

Rivers overflowing,

Food not growing,

No one knowing,

Where are we going,

And how long,

Can we prolong.

Life on earth?

Can we survive?

And remain alive,

There is a reality.

And a practicality,

We cannot arrange,

To alter climate change,

All we can do,

Is try to go slow,

And speed,

And heed,

The scientists,

We are perplexed,

And vexed

What to do next?

For there is no text,

That we can follow,

Or lies left to swallow,

The truth is frightening,

Being struck by lightning,

As we suddenly realise,

That the world we idolise,

Can change for ever,

Unless we endeavour,

To once again sever,

Our links with capitalism,

Which like feudalism,

Is an abuse,

That’s outlived its use,

The choice is not for us,

But we must make a fuss,

It’s about future generations,

Including our own relations,

The problem is capitalism,

And we need radicalism,

To find the solution,

For a peaceful revolution

To end the anxiety,

Of our throw-away society.
