Dire Warning Poem by Richard St. Clair

Dire Warning



Peace and Justice just aren't goals enough:
Added to them Climate Action is a must!
But the band plays on, a totentanz unjust
As statesmen deem these dire warnings a bluff.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day the schools
Marched chanting with a climate forecast rant,
Unwilling to accept the taunt, "We can't, "
By those who deny, the real pack of fools.
Denial ain't a river flows through Egypt,
It's really a kind of nagging mental illness
That only makes what's wrong a bigger mess,
As nature's bounty from her land is ripped.
Awaken all ye sleeping dogs, be brave,
Lest all too late our world we failed to save.
