Post 160: There it Goes

 




The sun is warm in my room, 

And I wonder what we will have to do soon.


It’s getting much thinner out there,

High in the sky, the stratosphere.


I’m worried about what will happen you see,

I’m worried that someday we won’t have it so easy.


They used to say the Bronx is burning, but now it’s California, Utah, and Arizona too,

Call it fake news if you want, but we all know it’s the truth.


The nights are getting so much warmer,

The winters are fleeting,

And our snowcaps are receding.


The ozone is thinner than ever before,

The CFC’s and coal plants are destroying it for sure,

The fridges and air conditioners are doing their thing,

And I hoped we would have learned to lessen their sting.


But progress is slow, and opinion as well,

I hope my words can ring the bell.


One if by land, and two if by sea,

What I see is going quick,

Do you see what I see?
