Denial
It's scary, I can understand
But, if you would, just take my hand
And look at the reality
that's happening in front of me
homes drowning in flames
and consumed by the sea
Lists of lost names
and those forced to flee
You wouldn't listen when it was just polar bears
Or those in less fortunate nations- "Who cares?"
But now our homes, too, are slipping away
How dare you, how could you continue to say
"It's a hoax!"
"It's a scam!"
"This is somebody's plan!"
Denying the planet's fate day after day
This poem is about:
My country
Our world
