Time we cared
Ice is melting – water rising
Up to their knees
And still denying.
Bird croaks its last fanfare
Frog’s last gasp
Of heated air.
We carry on without a care.
Heat increases – animals frying
Floods and droughts –
Not surprising.
Still they believe scientists are lying.
Concrete and plastic – land and sea,
I’m alright Jack,
Don’t worry about me!
Trophy hunting – forest clearing,
Sounds to me
That no-ones hearing!
At least that’s what I’m a fearin’.
Making room for bird and tree
Before they pass
Into history.
Buried under life’s debris.
But it’s always the cash that counts,
Stashed away
In large amounts.
Whatever they do, it’s the cash,
As long as they’ve got
Their share of the stash.
I think we’re heading for one ginormous crash.
