ON A GLOBAL SCALE

Climate wars
can`t argue with
thermometers
balance shifting 
scientists repeatedly
warning our planet
is warming.

non action has a global
reaction , ancient ice
disassembles along a
rising tide world wide a
new global divide.

Like watching a car crash
in slow motion when we are
the potion the answer the
lotion.

Blame it on the sun while we
freeze or burn and in return
nature is slowly rejecting us.

Dear Ziggy

Another insightful write from your pen ... I was watching our Prime Minister give a talk at the confrence this morning ... they are trying to draft a proposal but have left 100 parts of it blank lol sounds like they are blowing lots of hot air that will produce lots of very powerful people saying all the right things and again sitting on their asses and doing nothing ... sorry little bit passionate about the climate ... we had 80 fires burning across NSW yesterday and the fire seasons only just beginning ... lvoe and hugs Jayne

Dear Ziggy

I am pleased and impressed that you tackled climate change as a poetic issue. It can be a hard topic. You have made me want to give it a try, or multiple tries (since my first sometimes is provides good padding for the draft file). I like the line. "a new global divide" and others here. "[T]he potion the answer the lotion," is another. You have wide range to your topics and that is very good. Brian

Dear Ziggy

I just have to give you five stars, here. This is a brave write and your courage elevates you and your poetry in my eyes. Many people still don't believe, even with the evidence of Mother Nature out of whack right before their eyes. My favorite lines: Like watching a car crash in slow motion when we are the potion the answer the lotion. Blame it on the sun while we freeze or burn and in return nature is slowly rejecting us. Always, Cat

Great title

Zigs, this is well crafted and I just love the title. Nature is rejecting us - that's a very scary line - awesome. Good job and apologies for missing this one, it slipped through the net somehow, regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
