As temperatures rise,
The world heats up-
In consideration to the future of mankind
Having expelled too much gas to the atmosphere-
The bloated ocean will expand its dominance over the land,
Force us to run for the hills,
Shelter from the war-torn weather that will reign over us
In the extreme environment of our hostility.
We only notice extinction in its bloom,
Never see its growth while it’s happening,
Only determine the difference after it’s gone.
Putting off our tomorrows what we didn’t do today.
We put out nature for of own convenience,
Welcoming the warmer winters.
Not wanting to know,
Like an addict
Denying they have a problem,
Until it ends up being your problem,
While we continue to indulge ourselves,
Escaping the gravity of the situation
As we try to reach our space.
