Too Late?

Twas a snowy Summer day,
the birds barked a beautiful song.
The sun shined at a brutal 123 degrees,
bringing all the children to their knees.

They said it could’ve been prevented.
Our futures, they said, will all be cemented.
Al Gore called it An Inconvenient Truth,
while the rest of us sat with blind eyes and deaf ears.

And now it’s too late,
we’ve sealed Mother Earth’s fate.
The world is swarming!
Damn!  How can we end this global warming!?
