The current storm
#WritcoPoemPrompt36
Rising oceans,
A warming globe,
Savage storms,
A warning foretold...

seas vast horizons
global warming turned cold
stormy rage inside us
As present day unfolds.

waves of full on sadness
tropical heat, desert storms
weather patterns changing
harnessed by the ones in control.

water, water everywhere
humid mirage outlined in bold
desperate public outcry
theories of truth lie unproven

self fulfilled prophecy
artificial insights from a graph
math and science twisted
into nightmarish gospel stat.

spewed out for all consumers
to safely comfort our destructive souls
The global warming crisis gives us something to work towards together
buying in to what lies are spinning
being fooled, being sold.
