Profits Made
The winds came most horribly
Striking the sun-baked soil
Like a flail.
It set the dried brush burning fiercely.
Every creature
As parched and scorched
As the ground
They died upon.
The rains never came.
Rivers dried.
Seas warmed.
Coral bleached.
Desert sands
No longer crept
They rushed.
Ice melted.
Seas rose.
Cities flooded.
People fled.
Torrid air
Scalded skin
Smoke still poured
Profits were made.

What holds us back is greed, selfishness and the lust for power and wealth.
What is required is a global perspective, greater equality and cooperation.
Easy.
